STAR RATINGS GUIDE
Witty, gritty, dark and entertaining. If a cosy mystery got thrown in a blender with the works of David Wong. In Scotland.
THE BIRDICT
š Part satire, part whodunnit, this is witty and dark and entertaining and delightfully dour. Oh, and absolutely filthy both humour- and language-wise. Highly recommend.
SQUAWKING THE TALK
š§ You can in no possible way ever go wrong by choosing David Tennant to narrate your book. I submit that it is an impossibility. I have just spent ten worthwhile minutes trying to think of an audiobook he couldn't elevate with his performance. The closest I got was The Handmaid's Tale. But who am I kidding? He'd slay as Offred. Brilliant choice. Totally paid off.
š§ One issue: The music. Far be it from me to complain about good old 80s tunes, but there is a place and time, It was just a touch too jarring.

Quite Ugly One Morning
THE BLURB
Yeah, yeah, the usual. A crime. A corpse. A killer. Heard it. Except this stiff happens to be a Ponsonby, scion of a venerable Edinburgh medical clan, and the manner of his death speaks of unspeakable things. Why is the body displayed like a slice of beef? How come his hands are digitally challenged? And if it's not the corpse, what is that awful smell? A post-Thatcherite nightmare of frightening plausibility, Quite Ugly One Morning is a wickedly entertaining and vivacious thriller, full of acerbic wit, cracking dialogue, and villains both reputed and shell-suited.
