Through world wars and civil strife, the Bangor Express has never missed an issue, but now it is losing money and Rob Cullen has absolutely no idea that he's the man to save it. It's been a long time since Rob had a real story to get his teeth into, just as well then that he can rely on the Express crew to back him up. They're like a family. A dysfunctional, highly unpopular and poverty-stricken family.©2016 Colin Bateman (P)2016 W.F. Howes Ltd Crime Fiction Literature & Fiction Suspense Thriller & Suspense Crime Fiction

I'm abog fan of Bateman and I found this book entertaining but not a favourite.

This story, set in Bangor, takes the ordinary and transforms it. Very funny and sometimes poignant. I really like this author and the reader. Looking for another of his books, little gems

Full of local flavour.

As someone who is Bangor "born and bread" this was another excellent Bateman read, close to home. So many twists and turns and the usual humour that makes you nearly feel like apologising for laughing. Loved it!

Another Bateman classic

You didn't really feel like you were listening to a single book, it was almost as if there were lots of ideas merging, not into short stories exactly, but a disjointed tale, if that makes sense.

A new editor joins the Bangor Express, a wee, local paper that doesn't live up to his previous job, the broadsheet The Guardian. He learns to love all the characters and maybe even fancy the young female reporter.

I love Colin Bateman’s characters and chuckle along with his humour. Another thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Great
