This time Tintin makes a trip to England to bust a counterfeiting gang. The story begins with a plane crash and Tintin being shot at. Once he discovers a mystery is afoot, he leaves the hospital and goes to England. So do Thompson and Thomson, lol! With a lot of drama, Tintin finally manages to capture all the villains. The book also introduces Dr Müller, a villain that Tintin encounters more than once in the series.

There is a lot of action in this one, and Snowy shines for a change. I enjoyed the presence of the chimp, and how Tintin finally befriends him. A massive, massive change from the earlier books where Tintin couldn't be bothered with any animal other than his dog. Another favourite of mine was the Thompson & Thomson duo winning the aerobatics competition! This book was funnier than usual.

The action doesn't always make logical sense, but I don't really care. The humour was fantastic, and the characters were well-built. The fake mental asylum, the 'ferocious' beast, etc. all added to the charm. Not the best in the series, but well worth a read!
