Summary
The police turn to Angelique de Xavia, a cop who has crossed his path before. However, the police are not the only people who want Darcourt. Now she's faced not only with tracking him down, but also with the task of ensuring she doesn't end up dead once she's served her purpose.
Scared and alone, Angelique knows she's got a snowball's chance of pulling this off, which is why she's going to need a little magic...

A Hero, Heroine and the Devil battle again
What made the experience of listening to A Snowball in Hell the most enjoyable?
Superb narration by Kenny Blyth. He brought such depth to each character, especially so for Simon Darcourt.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Snowball in Hell?
The gameshow, loosely based on the X Factor accept the prize for the winner and the means to attain it were gruesome but darkly funny.
Which character – as performed by Kenny Blyth – was your favourite?
Simon Darcourt
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Silly question, especially for a Christopher Brookmyre novel.
Any additional comments?
Brookmyre never disappoints.

get past the first 45 minutes!!
I would have given this book 5 stars if it wasn't for the first 45 minutes. I thought I had missed a huge chunk of the book out, I really couldn't get into it and very nearly gave up. My brother who recommended this author had said how good he was so I persevered - and was very glad I had! there are a lot of good plot twists and the characters are really well portrayed. Definately worth listening past the first 45 minutes! I will have to listen to it again to see why I didn't get it the first time.

Read Brookmyre's other novels first.
To fully appreciate this you need to have already read/listened to, the previous novels featuring Simon Darcourt.

Witty biting cops and robbers satire
Gripping thriller on the subject of celebrity culture while putting the boot in on the media obsession with scaremongering terrorism. Highly entertaining

Great convoluted plot
It was a bit of a challenge following the characters having not read the previous two books in the series. But the story comes together quickly and is continually inventive. Great ending tying up all the loose ends.

Love this book!
One of Brookmyre's best - and that's saying something! Angelique de Xavier - a great heroine and a fun story.

Brilliant
Loved, a bringing together of both the previous stories. So enjoyable for start to finish with many Charlie Brooker style moments.

Brookmyre at his best
So often a sequel disappoints. This builds on the characters and has a truly inspired sense of humour, black but not too black, a bit off kilter but not twisted. A great plot that keeps the attention and characters you can relate to. Thoroughly recommended.
