All fun and games untill somebody loses an eye - christofer brookmyre


I'm starting a new love affair. Found the lovely Christofer, or Mr Brookmyre, at the local library, and I'm very much carrying a crush of enormous proportions. I read the first book I found - all fun and games until somebody loses and eye- and to my delight he has been very busy for the last couple of years, meaning I have another 11 books to curl up with. Never underestimate a good curler-upper when it comes to diversions.
A-fag (until someone loses an eye) - is a story running with the lovely Jane Bell (maiden name, until she marries her couch-bound husband Tom). A grandmother at the age of 46 that realizes that her dreams of a Bond-like existence is not as far fetched as she thought when she suddenly needs to rescue her big-brained-bairn from the clutches of an international arms manufacturer that believes he is going to turn their big guns and perforation specials in to so much scrap metal waiting for the conveyor belt to the sky, and thereby sending their year-end profits into nothing. A lot of sexy brainy action where you basically speed read your way to the last page and then have a wee sob at the end, simply because there is no more words. I'm entertaining the idea of harassing the lovely Mr Brookmyre until en does a sequel of the lovely Jane. Spamming would probably work.. right? .. or does plying of drinks and gift baskets work better? Will have to take up baking of cupcakes if all else fails..
