Plague was quite humorous. However, it felt rushed to me and a bit disorganized.

Description
The Pope needs war between England and France badly; peace has prevailed for far too long and a good war will put bums back on pews and money in the collection plate. Otherwise he’ll need to make cutbacks and the Vatican Christmas party will have to go.

Luckily his daring beautiful assassin is on the job. And what better time for the Edward King of England to die a horrible and painful death than when King Philipe of France is visiting. There’s just a small problem: the plague has reached Europe and there’s every chance it may get Edward first.

Preferred the first - Sir Humphrey's Last Stand - over this one, I guess as I found this one a little harder to get into than the first (it took a couple of days to read). Satire is not an easy mistress and sometimes writers, like musicians suffer from DSAS (Difficult Second Album Syndrome) - which I think may be slightly applicable here. That is not to say that this is not humorous nor enjoyable in any way - It is a perfectly good outing. I read this as a kindle version, so I might give it another go in a more tangible format.

I'm really not sure what Forth was trying to do here. The humor is there, but the story felt disjointed. I managed to finish. but could not shake feeling rather indifferent over my experience of the narrative.
