A Big Boy Did It and Ran Away by Christopher Brookmyre
4.0
What a fabulous fun it has been! I am obviously a fan, but there is little to criticize if at all, as the story is extremely well written, with tons of Glaswegian speech that just makes me think of Frankie Boyle and laugh :)
It's the first book where Angelique, wee but lethal police officer, gets to meet Simon Darcourt (both I met for the first time in the sequel to this book, so if you want to start in order, read this, and then the other two...). Her sidekick this time is a gaming expert, now teacher and brand new father, Ray, who proves out to be a great team player.
Loved the book. I am very tempted to dive into the third in series, but I will wait a while, finish some of the other books already started, and then work on "A Snowball In Hell".
