About this listen

 They say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do. Well, as far as Dan Starkey's concerned, "they" can stick it where the sun don't shine because right now helping his wife with the unpacking is the least of his worries. No sooner than Dan has moved into his new Belfast home, his best mate, Mouse, is murdered, leaving him to catch a killer, become editor of the obscenely successful scandal magazine, "Belfast Confidential", and compile the much-coveted Power List.©2006 Colin Bateman (P)2006 W. F. Howes Ltd. Suspense Thriller & Suspense

loved it. Happened upon this author by accident and have now bought everything available. I love the style, dark humour that makes you laugh out loud. I felt like I'd lost an old friend when I finished it, and I want more..........

pure brilliant

This was the best audio book I listened to on holiday this year, the plot is great funny imaginative, the characters are brilliant. The storyline makes you not want to turn the book off. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to listen to a refreshing new book. Can't wait for more by the same author.

What a fantastic read!

Love Colin Bateman's convoluted plots and the utterly flawed character of Dan Starkey. The Tourette's interview is so funny.
He goes where other writers fear to tread in a number of ways.

Brilliant as usual

I found this novel brilliant.I am a native of Northern Ireland and this listen was just fantastic.The plot twists and turns with a perfect amount of comedy and reality.I was addicted,and I am only disapointed that Colin Bateman has no other audio books on audible.I even went out and bought a novel of this author.I feel anyone can enjoy this and being from Northern Ireland was not a plus or minus.The humour mixed with the thriller was wonderful.

fantastic
