Dying Is Easy: A darkly humorous psychological crime thriller that will leave you gasping for breath!

“I'll just read the first chapter of this before I go to bed,” said I. Don't you make the same mistake. Unless, of course, you don't mind being up till three in the morning, or even later if you don't read as fast as I do. This is a truly unputdownable thriller with more twists, turns, and interesting sights along the way than a minor road in the central Lake District. Both the plotting and the characterisation are superb, and, although the tension keeps on building right up to the end, the shots of unexpected humour never feel out of place. On a more personal note, I very much like the fact that the narrator is high-functioning autistic; I'm not, but my favourite in-law is, and I appreciated both the insight into his brain's operating system and the fact that other people will also share that insight. High-functioning autism is quite common, and anything that helps neurotypical people understand it better is good in my book. So. Read it. But not just before you thought you were going to go to bed, and definitely not on public transport. You don't want to miss your stop, now, do you?
