Advantages: Fast page turner

Disadvantages: None

This is the first novel from Christopher Brookmyre and remains one of his best. It has one of the best opening lines of any books I have ever read. Unfortunetely I cannot write it here.
It is also the first of a series of novels with Jack Parlabayne as the main character. He is a freelance journalist who is from Glasgow and has travelled around working and as the novel progresses, indeed,as the books progress we learn more of the troubled life of Jack.
The novel follows Jack as he and a junior doctor investigate a series of seemingly unrelated and innocuous deaths to uncover a hideous unscrupulous plot of coprorate crime.
The book is fast paced from the start and is extremely whitty despite the subject matter. It also passes thro' familiar places in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
It has since been made into a drama production which did not do justice to this book.
Everybody should read it and you will laugh and cry in equal measures and I gaurentee you will read other Jack Parlabayne books.

Summary: Whitty, sad fast paced thriller
