My first encounter with Simon Templar, but certainly not my last. I found him to be witty and - although almost certainly unintended by the author - charmingly camp.
He saves the day and gets the girl (albeit for a friend), bringing criminals to justice with nothing but his wits, tenacity, and preparation. He's a delight to read and I'm already looking forward to the next book.
