The Green-Eyed Monster / Peter O'Donnell

The Green-Eyed Monster

(category: action)
book 7? of Modesty Blaise by

Peter O'Donnell
(illustrated by Enric Badia Romero)

published in newspapers in 1970
published in book form by Titan Books in 2005
Nick read a library book, in March 2010
(and previously in The West, certainly two of the three stories)

Nick's rating: 7 out of 10


Nick's opinion:

You're either a Modesty Blaise fan... or you're not. I am -- and I enjoyed each of the three stories in this book. It seems that the artist -- Romero -- was new to Modesty Blaise, so they started him with a simple plot: based around a troupe of dancing girls trapped in an Arab harem... Riiight... I wonder if the harem theme is why I can't remember reading that story before... Too many harem outfits to be published in The West!?
