The third book in the Smiler trilogy arrived in beautiful condition as the seller promised. It also arrived well ahead of schedule. I'm looking forward to enjoying the story once again. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. Victor Canning's "The Painted Tent" is a so-so mystery story.

Not much of a plot and the characters, although likeable, are strictly cardboard some of them seem to a have strayed out of a Charles Dickens novel. It seems as if a quarter of the book is a diversion into the lifestyle of peregrine falcons. More about falcons than I ever wanted to know.
In any case if you want to read about falcons, try the short story "Hook" can't remember the author ; it's better.
As I was reading, I felt a odd sense of familiarity. Finally I caught on that the "The Painted Tent" reminds me of many of the scores of "juvenile" or "young adult" books I devoured in my early teens -- teenage protagonist, plodding mediocore plot, simplified characters, educational asides the falcons , morality lessons, etc. One person found this helpful.

This one is the last in a trilogy about a teenager on the run from the police. Each story mixes in story of an animal also finding freedom, in this case a peregrine falcon and the mix of thriller and animal story is brilliantly done. Someone should design a better cover than this though, which gives absolutely no sense of the story it contains.
