Reactions and Reviews

Bodie sees a vision of two old ladies who seem to know something about his future. Doyle becomes more and more distraught as the trances keep occurring, afraid that one time Bodie won't come out of it. The lads love each other but in the past Doyle had rejected Bodie's sexual advances. Now Doyle realizes he was foolish and they become lovers. Finally Doyle has a similar vision. With the encouragement of a doctor employed by Cowley, they set out to discover the meaning of the visions, which takes them on a tour of most of the old churches in London. I enjoy the advice of the doctor, who is based on a canon character. This author is skillful at conveying emotions; Doyle's anguish when Bodie goes into one of his trances is very real. The climactic scene where Doyle must tell Bodie that he loves him in order to get him out of the trance is wonderful. There is a lovely twist at the end which I didn't see coming and is very clever. And finally, the thought CI5 agents are sometimes recruited by a higher power for service in protecting Britain intrigues me. I normally shy away from stories with supernatural elements, but I'm glad I read this one.
