way. If you like dark humour then this is a must read! Great read! At first I was hesitant about the short chapters, worrying that it would be hard to get involved with the story, but the structure and cleverly crafted cliffhangers at the end of each one meant that I kept reading "just one more chapter", even when I was shattered and should really have put my kindle down! As a well travelled Brummie I loved being able to relate to the descriptions of my local neighbourhood (although some are not very flattering) and the more exotic destinations that are used as the setting for several of the characters' back stories. The characters are very believable, even when the events they are involved with are extreme and sometimes disturbing. Overall a well crafted, darkly humorous novel with a great twist at the end.
