This is my favourite Brookmyre ... not that I have copies any more as the ex took them away. :o(

Anyway, the humour's there, and it is still a little bleak, but it is not as gory as some of the earlier stuff.

Which reminds me of a pet theory of mine, which I'm sure has been aired in the forums: the same can be said of Iain (M) Banks and Colin Bateman - all three (4!) seem to have mellowed with age. Why do these Celtic chaps feel the need to shock in their early outings?

Anyway (again) bought this for the BCUK NSS(BTS)SSS because the person it is for didn't seem to have anything by this chap on their list of recent books read, but did have other crime fiction so I thought it was time to do a little horizon stretching. No wish list. Naughty person!

Hope xxxxx enjoys it!

Thank you very much for this CaterinaAnna - it looks like just my sort of thing. I am sorry I haven't yet organised a wish list on Cliff's site (I'll get on and do this straight away) but I do have one on my bookshelf - not that it matters as you seem to have picked something I am sure I will like - well done, I'm looking forward to reading it :-)
Thank you for the choccy and the packed pencil case too - all likely to come in useful as the new OU course dates begin!

I found this book at the back of my shelf when sorting. I did enjoy it when I read it some time ago and have no idea why I didn't make a journal entry at the time - I am sorry. Anyway it is moving on now and will be wild released in the next few days.
