"Back when they were students, just like everybody else, Ray Ash and Simon Darcourt had dreams about what they'd do when they grew up. In both their cases, it was to be rock stars. Fifteen years later, their mid-thirties are bearing down fast, and just like everybody else, they're having to accept the less glamorous hands reality has dealt them. Nervous new father Ray takes refuge from his responsibilities by living a virtual existence in online games. People say he needs to grow up, but everybody has to find their own way of coping. For some it's affairs, for others it's the bottle, and for Simon it's serial murder, mass slaughter and professional assassination." - amazon.co.uk synopsis

Another treat from Mr Brookmyre. I'm not sure the back cover did it justice, or at least I liked it more than I thought I would from reading the blurb. The usual cast of good guys, bad guys and the normal guys stuck in the middle. Laugh out loud, and thrillingly tense - great!

I found this on my sister's bookshelf when I went to visit. She'd read it, so it took it back to pass on to a friend. Enjoy!

I'm refusing to read the back cover before I actually read the book - I like not having a clue where its going, and 70-odd pages in this weekend and I've only just met the protagonist and really still don't have a clue... but I'm quite enjoying it :) Thanks Loz!

This feels very much like a book that belongs to these fair isles, but it's time to let go. Wending your way from the Big Smoke to the Big Apple via my brother's (awesome) girlfriend... Let's see where Mr Brookmyre's tome ends up, shall we? Muchly enjoyed this madcap book. No idea how it will translate across the pond :)
