Death on a dirty afternoon- Colin Garrow 4*

Terry is a taxi driver, or was until a few weeks ago.

He arrives home to find his collegue stone cold dead on his kitchen table.
He then finds his former boss dead as well. Having thought that there were intruders
in the house, he picks up a hockey stick that had been left from the previous occupants
and then realises it is the murder weapon and his fingerprints are all over it.
You get the gist. This is a lighthearted read that has a smile on almost every page.
A hapless chap trying to get himself out of the spotlight and getting further and further in.

Set in a seaside town an amatuer detective does his best amongst villains and a friend or two.

The characters often speak Geordie and even I could understand it as it is written so well.

 No gore, no sex (even if Terry would like to try) just a well written, highly enjoyable, different read.

If you want a “detective” book to make you smile then this is it.
