Reading this, you wouldn't know that Graham Norton is the author...and I say that in the best kind of way. It's a lovely mix between a cozy mystery vibe and your traditional detective novel. The gossipy Irish town and dark secrets play off each other to make an utterly charming page-turner.

If you've watched the Graham Norton show on BBC (and now on Youtube), then you know that he is a natural story teller, and likely prone to making up some great dialogue, so it comes as NO surprise that he has written a quite readable novel, full of quirky but unforgettable characters! Norton actually does a very fine job in crafting a mystery within a mystery, set in a small Irish village, where secrets are always deeply buried. Til they come out at the construction site! LOL. The book is a great Summer read (it comes out August 1st) , thanks to it's page turning plot, characters that jump off the page, and a story that feels like it came from a veteran novelist! In fact, I wouldn't mind reading a new book featuring PJ Collins, and his next adventure! So if you're looking for something new and different, be sure to check this one out!

When I first saw that Graham Norton had written a book, a fiction book no less, I was a little surprised. I love watching his show. I was even more surprised by the book itself. The story was fantastic. The characters were well written, believable, and richly detailed. I got so into that book that I wasn't able to put it down. I look forward to the next book that Graham writes.
