This Sir John Fielding novel is almost all about his assistant Jeremy Proctor. While very interesting, I do not feel it is one of the best in this series. There are three plot lines, and two of them revolve around sex.

I have always felt that when an author write a book about sex, especially unnatural sex, then that author is running out of ideas. Fortunately, unlike a number of so-called 'best sellers,' the unnatural sex in this novel is not shoved in our faces.

As for poor Jeremy, in the end things swing out of his control and he gets his just deserts.
