I had read a number of Colin Bateman books, including his excellent Mystery Man series, all from the library, so i felt it was about time I had one of his novels on my book shelf. Anyone new to Bateman is in for such a treat. His books are very funny, but also excellent thrillers. Start with anyone of them and like me, you'll be hooked. Excellent work Mr Bateman. thank you in advance for many more hours of entertainment.
