Un mattino da cani by Christopher Brookmyre

A very few chapters later, Christopher Brookmyre tells you whodunnit, and the rest of the book involves a lot of charging about while the good guys explain to each other how their deducings are getting on, and the bad guys get increasingly worried about their progress.

Two-thirds of the way through the first chapter of QUOM, the detectives at the newly discovered, extremely messy crime scene, discover that not only has the murderer been as brutal and sadistic as he appears to have possibly been able to manage, but he has also done a sizable shit on the mantelpiece. This book is capable of getting you fired!! CAUTION - Try NOT TO FORGET that you have to go to work. And fasten your seat belts too, you will be experiencing turbulence. If you haven’t read this book, stop whatever you are doing and go pick it up. Brookmyre deserves the award which he has clinched for this book, every bit of it. But the entire thing is carried on the lithe shoulders of Jack Parlabane. It’s got a great plot, great narration, great pace and a great environment. I don’t mind relinquishing the No 1 spot to Jack Parlabane.įor thriller lovers, this is an ABSOLUTE must. I couldn’t have agreed with her more after I finished the book. I was introduced to this book by a lady friend who generally eats men for breakfast and was told I am the second guy she really likes, with Jack Parlabane holding the No 1 spot. He is what a journalist should be, Non-conformist and a true seeker of the truth. There is something about Parlabane that throws all alarm bells screaming danger and YET one gets drawn towards him. Add to that a raunchy lip smacking attitude. If there is something to be uncovered, he WILL find it. He is all brains, all snoop, all tracker of truth. Jack Parlabane, the hero of Quite Ugly One Morning is simply a clutter-breaking character. If I have to talk about the treatment, it will be never ending and if I have to talk about the protagonist, I may not ever stop. Where do I start? If I have to talk about the plot, I can write volumes. It’s just like the lingering after taste of a rich and heavy wine. What a book! After I read this book, I was left completely stranded and was not able to choose which book to pick up next for a whole 8 hours and I am still struggling. Quite Ugly One Morning is definitely Quite Fantastic An Experience.
