Fresh, funny and fascinating

I loved the droll humour of this yarn with its mini-plots and twists and turns. The self-deprecating neurotic hero is one I hope we'll hear more of, and the reading was so good I kept forgetting that it wasn't a real person. If it has a fault, I think I'd have to say the denouement was a tad predictable, but all that led up to it was sheer enjoyment.

Totally different murder mystery as so amusing

Wasn't sure if I Iiked it at first as it wasn't at all what I expected. But very quickly I came to enjoy it. So light hearted but still a page turner, and unusual combination. Didn't take itself too seriously. Will listen to more in this series

Sublime comic crime caper

Hilarious and utterly irredeemable main charecter so be prepared for that.

Great plot and fantastic laughs.

Prefect if you want something that pulls no punches comedy wise,.

Overall not too bad

I will admit there were several times when listening to this book I did laugh out loud but there were also a number of times when I struggled to get through parts. The narrators voice suits it well and was one of the main reasons to carry on as his accent was dreamy and read it well. The main character of the book, seemed ok at the beginning but by about half way through he was really starting to annoy me as he was 'too quirky'. Supporting characters are well written and fleshed out so you don't feel as if they are just there for padding. I might look into getting other books by the author but they won't be making my wish list as a 'must read'.

OK

I was a bit disappointed with this. Some of the humour was a bit obvious.

Nice little crime story with interesting take on the amateur sleuth

Though a slightly annoying protagonist this is a fun murder mystery. Not my normal read but I’m going to give others in the series a listen. It’s enjoyable escapism.

RIVETING

This book is a tome of intrigue, espionage, courage, incontestable and allergy ridden bravado. The laughter escaped from my lips before I was aware of it. The plot was emotionally charged that I found myself constantly listening. The writing was prolific with a twist of comedic elements that surprise the reader. I was enthralled by the story because it was told with a depth and a simplicity. I loved the reader's irish brogue. The conclusion is a twist worth waiting for. Magnificent indeed.

grew on me

Any additional comments?

It took me a while to enjoy this book the humor in the first few chapters was a bit obvious (a man walked into a bar....) but as it progressed i found myself laughing out loud at the 'hero' in the story who is not in the least bit likable and never fails to reach new lows.
well worth a read, it will cheer you up, not least because you will (hopefully) realise you don't know anyone quite so selfish and rude!
