Book description
J. W. Wells seemed to be a respectable establishment, but the company
now paying Paul Carpenter's salary is in fact a deeply sinister
organisation with a mighty peculiar management team. Paul thought he was
getting the hang of it (particularly when he fell head over heels for
his strangely alluring colleague Sophie), but death is never far away
when you work at J. W. Wells. Unlike the stapler - that's always going
awol. Our lovestruck hero is about to discover that custard is
definitely in the eye of the beholder. And that it really stings. Tom
Holt's exceedingly comic fantasies are populated with evil goblins,
annoying sprites and people like us. However, it's not always possible
to tell the difference. Tom Holt is the author of such comic fantasy
classics as: Expecting Someone Taller, Who's Afraid of Beowulf?, Flying
Dutch, Ye Gods!, Overtime, Here Comes the Sun, Grailblazers, Faust Among
Equals, Odds and Gods, Djinn Rummy, My Hero, Paint Your Dragon and Open
Sesame.
