Christopher Brookmyre: One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night (Paperback, 2006, Abacus) 5 stars

Review of 'One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I've started listening to audio versions of books I've already read while I work. So this isn't the first time I've read this book. But it's been a while.

Fifteen years after graduating, the students of St Michael's in Auchenlea (Glasgow) are invited to a reunion on a floating luxury resort in the North Atlantic. Simone is trapped in a loveless marriage to Gavin, the horrible owner of the horrible resort. Matt is … well … Billy Connolly. Davey is a reformed criminal. They expect an evening filled with metaphorical murders and fireworks – not literal ones.

I've adored Brookmyre's writing since 2000, when I bought Boiling a Frog from the Sleuth of Baker Street in Toronto because I liked the cover.
