I picked this up on a trip through Heathrow airport. (At the time, fewer of his books were available in the US, so there was actually some reason there. ) Sometimes books make the best souvenirs. :)

Another fun read. Being a grandmother is no obstacle to kicking butt.

I really enjoyed it. This was my first book by Brookmyre, but I will definitely be reading more by him in the near future!

What you would expect from Chris Brookmyre. Entertaining, a bit silly but good to read.

Gangsta Granny meets Steven Seagal. Did not finish, did not find it in any way funny or gripping, just stupid. Not one for me at all.
