Series ✦ Penny’s Take
The Grey Ghost
Clive Cussler · 2018
74/100
👍 Worth It
Sam and Remi Fargo make a reliably appealing team in this Kirkus-starred adventure that centers on a century-spanning Rolls-Royce mystery. The dual-timeline structure is clever, the pacing is brisk, and one reviewer specifically called out the cleaner language and violence compared with comparable thrillers. A strong pick for adventure fans who want polished escapism without the rougher edges.
