A Snowball In Hell

Abacus 2009 Paperback, 391pp. If society has the B-list celebrities it deserves, it now has a killer to match. Except that Simon Darcourt is a great deal more successful in his career choice than the average talent show contestant. He's also got the media taped by the simple expedient of bypassing them completely and posting his killings on the Internet. Some foxing. (ISBN: 9780349120515). Good.

A Tale Etched in Blood and Hard Black Pencil

Fine condition. Little, Brown, 2006. First UK edition-first printing. Blue hardback(silver lettering to the spine, small nick and crease on the edges of the cover) with Dj(a couple of scratches, nicks and crease on the Dj cover), both in fine condition. The book is new with a small red marker mark on the edge of the half-title page, light shelf wear on the Dj cover. 346pp including Glossary. Price un-clipped. First edition. Review: Of all writers practising what might loosely be called crime fiction today, Christopher Brookmyre is the one who lends himself least easily to categorisation. There are those eccentric titles, for a start: such as the latest one: A Tale Etched in Blood and Hard Black Pencil. This unwieldy title (as often before) gives an indication of the sardonic quality of his writing, and in that, Brookmyre is reminiscent of his great American colleague, Carl Hiaasen. Like Hiaasen, too, Brookmyre favours eccentric and outrageous plots, but there is always a strong grounding in reality, which gives the humour a decidedly bitter edge. n nInternet contact between ex-school friends these days leads to some disturbing encounters, and Brookmyre's version of the scenario is typically murderous. Brookmyre is interested in whether or not the index to future of violent behaviour might be discerned in the school playground. DS Karen Gillespie is bemused by a cack-handed attempt at burning a pair of bodies; this takes place outside Glasgow (in fact, in the area in which she grew up). And in a nearby lodge, strange attempts have been made to clean up what appears to be the same crime, but (as a pathologist points out), everything here is handled as maladroitly as the murder. Two suspects appear, but when Karen discovers that they were at primary school together (along with one of the murder victims), things begin to look like a grisly version of Friends Reunited. n nBrookmyre readers will know exactly what to expect from this scenario, and they won't be disappointed. If the level of invention is not as delirious as in previous books, Karen Gillespie is as quirkily characterised as ever. Fine/Fine. ISBN: 9780316730105

A Tale Etched in Blood and Hard Black Pencil

Abacus 2007 Paperback, 416pp. We could tell you about the bodies.We could tell you their names, where they were found, thestate they were in. We could tell you about the suspectstoo, the evidence, the investigators; join a few dots,even throw you a motive. But what would be the point?You're going to make your own assumptionsanyway. After all, you know these people, don'tyou? You went to school with them. We all did. Granted,that was twenty years ago, but how much does anybodyreally change? Exactly. So if you really knew them then,you'll already have all the answers. If youreally knew them thenhellip;Put on your uniform and line up in an orderly fashion forthe funniest and most accurate trip back to the classroomyou are likely to read, as well as a murder mystery likenothing that has gone before it. Forget the forensics:only once you've been through school with thispainfully believable cast of characters will you beequipped to work out what really happened decades later.Even then, you'll probably guess wrong and bemade to stand in the corner.

Where the Bodies Are Buried

Little Brown GBR 2011 Hardback, 384pp. Detective Catherine McLeod was always taught that in Glasgow, they don't do whodunit. They do score-settling. They do vendettas. They do petty revenge. They do can't-miss-whodunit. It's a lesson that has served her well, but Glasgow is also a dangerous place to make assumptions. Either way she looks at it, she recognises that the discovery of a dead drug-dealer in a back alley is merely a portent of further deaths to come. Elsewhere in the city, aspiring actress Jasmine Sharp is reluctantly - and incompetently - earning a crust working for her uncle Jim's private investigation business. When Jim goes missing, Jasmine has to take on the investigator mantle for real, and her only lead points to Glen Fallan, a gangland enforcer and professional assassin whose reputation is rendered only slightly less terrifying by having been dead for twenty years. Cautiously tracing an accomplished killer's footsteps, Jasmine stumbles into a web of corruption and decades-hidden secrets that could tear apart an entire police force - if she can stay alive long enough to tell the tale. Dj. (ISBN: 9781408702697). Good.
