The first reviews for Christopher Brookmyre's new novel A Snowball in Hell have appeared in the UK press:
‘Brookmyre is back to what he does better than anyone else: bloodgushing action married to razor-sharp, foul-mouthed satire that shows he doesn’t so much have his finger on the pulse of popular culture as an open razor to its carotid artery... a brutally funny, bruisingly wicked romp... a bullish Brookmyre declares A Snowball in Hell to be “the best thing I’ve done” – and he could well be right’ Daily Express
‘Extremely vigorous and well-plotted thriller’ Saturday Review, Radio 4
'Brookmyre, with his bampots and his anger (at the sound of the suburbs and the drivers of SUVs) is a riot. This book is brilliantly and intricately plotted, well-written... and will, at times, have you laughing out loud’ Tribune
