Our view
“Grim Tuesday” builds out the strange House of the first book and keeps up a quick pace. Arthur must face the second of seven Trustees to save both his world and the House, in a series that ties each day of the week to a deadly sin. The humour and wordplay reach adults as well as children. Some readers find it a little less gripping than “Mister Monday”.
