\"Master<\/a>For those of us of a certain (old) age, we might remember an animated rabbit used to sell artificially colored, chemically flavored powder that altered milk into some sort of sweet goop: Quiky the Quik Bunny<\/a> would quip\u00a0“You can’t drink it slow, if it’s Quik.<\/a>” Well, what can I say … reading Keaton<\/em> is not unlike that. You just can’t read it slow …\u00a0once tasted, gotta binge the whole volume. For lucky newbies, make sure to start at the beginning and enjoy the series in order<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Volume 5 finds Taichi Hiraga Keaton, our favorite British\/Japanese hapa professor\/insurance investigator (yes,\u00a0of course<\/em>, he\u2019s so much more than that, and only reading sequentially will reveal that super-secret background!) in an English village, searching for\u00a0of a woman who might or might not exist, who may or may not have last been seen in a crumbling, abandoned cinema where\u00a0Bride of Frankenstein<\/em> was its final feature. Marriage, murder, and monsters can often go hand in hand.<\/p>\n

From fatal\u00a0mayhem,\u00a0Keaton\u00a0has spies to chase in Germany and through\u00a0various countries in the Middle East. He’s got a robber hero to apprehend back in England, and a ringing reward to share off the Brittany\u00a0coast of France. And he also needs to make time for his family, including a visit to\u00a0seaside\u00a0Cornwall with his teenage daughter as he recalls his own bittersweet childhood memories, and a stopover in Japan to check on so his father who stands accused of kidnapping his fussy neighbor’s over-pampered pooch.<\/p>\n

Keaton is definitely an indisputable\u00a0master of all things perilous\u00a0and seemingly impossible.\u00a0For armchair voyeurs in search of peripatetic\u00a0adventures, look no further \u2013 here’s to\u00a0risk-free, guaranteed\u00a0fun!<\/p>\n
