Another schmoe from upstate New York takes on an improbable quest to perform a last favor for a murdered friend. The journey carries him to India, where he finds intrigue, romance, and comedy. How can you not like a hero who is willing to dance and sing "Jingle Bells" in front of the Indian police to save the girl he loves? The Internet plays a huge role, shrinking the world and revealing secrets in more ways than one. The protagonists find, however, that the world is still a pretty big place when you're crossing it by rail. This book was exotic, exciting, and just plain fun!

A talented author makes a story interesting. Personal knowledge by the author makes the story believable. Benoit makes the story real. The only time that I put the book, "Out of Order," down was to get up and take some Dramamine during the train scene.

I loved "Relative Danger," and I enjoyed "Out of Order" just as much. The characters, especially the protagonist, are nicely drawn. The Indian setting is perfect. And the fast-paced plot and wonderful humor add up to a fantastic adventure romp. If you are looking for a well-written book with a sense of fun and place, this book is for you. I'm already looking forward to Charles Benoit's third book.
