Criminal Records Résumé

Criminal Records Andrew Holmes

When Charlie was growing up he knew one thing for sure. He wasn't going to spend his life in Bentham. But now, here he is. Mid-to-late thirties, married with a baby, living just streets away from the house where he was born. He's still got his impressive collection of vinyl, but instead of DJing at his own club night in London, he's playing at weddings, accompanied by a box of comedy props. Early one morning Charlie gets a phone call. He learns that his brother has been involved in a fatal accident and that, before Leo died, he'd been running a dodgy detective agency. As Charlie picks up the trail on Leo's last investigation he uncoveres a string of secrets that lead uncomfortably close to home.

Criminal Records Avis

'extraordinarily entertaining...dark and hilarious. Holmes reminds you forcibly of Nick Hornby in his High Fidelity days. -- Daily Mail 'Exciting and unputdownable, Holmes delivers a cracking detective story about life in the 'burbs, cleverly combining humour with brutality, while painting a very real picture of society.' -- London Paper 'An engrossing, suspense-fuelled read. Andrew Holmes' sharp, lively narrative is littered with withering one-liners, and he makes some deliciously wry observations about the ennui of suburbia - and, in this case, the darkness lying beneath it.' -- New Statesman 'a twisty plot of family omerta and blackmail in sleepy surburbia' -- Financial Times
