It’s really hard to  know what to say about this one without spoilering everything. This book is classic Brookmyre. It will suit fans of his work. Anyone else … maybe. 

If you haven’t worked out what’s going on by two-thirds of the way through, the twist is going to slap you in the face. 

I’ve read at least 15 Brookmyre books. I know where I stand on the genre-bending mashup. But not everyone is me.
