Synopsis: After Butler is fatally shot, Artemis Fowl enlists fairy help to make things right, get revenge, and make one last score before going straight.
Of the three AF books I've read to this point, this is second best. It's miles better than The Arctic Incident but just barely short of Artemis Fowl. In this one, you have Artemis once more taking the role of hero, but this time, he's not completely incompetent doing it. He still had his try/fail cycles, but this time they didn't make him seem stupid. It may be because John Spiro is a more worthy adversary. It could be that Artemis was simply smarter in this book.
I have to say I wish the mob had a bigger role. It seemed like that part of the plot just petered out. And while the fairies making a guy who knows too much disappear was funny, it solved the problem too thoroughly too quickly.
Regardless, the book was worth the read, and the ending makes me look forward to the next one.
