Where the Bodies Are Buried

Grippy, twisty, compulsive reading and characters I want to get to know better. Nice introduction to an author I've heard rave reviews of.

I have enjoyed, admired or outright loved every one of Brookmyre's novels so far. I went into this one with a small amount of trepidation because lots of negative reviews were circulating regarding a radical departure in style.

A change of moniker has brought a change of approach from Mr Brookmyre: the wisecracking is turned way down and the "messages" from previous books are gone. This is a much more straightforward crime tale, no real twist in the tail (in the style of Christopher Brookmyre), played with a relatively straight bat.
