Publisher's summary

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.

unique characters, good turn of phrase

The characters and the scene is well developed, there are some fun characters in the story and the relationship between husband and wife as the dialog plays out is fun at times. The main character means well but does have you wanting to give him a slap sometimes, which is by design. Colin Bateman is a good writer and takes you on an interesting ride. I liked the book and the ending had me tuned in, I would recommend it with the caveat of strong language, if that is not your cup of tea then I would avoid but it seems to be part of the realism of the story and works where its used.
