Where The Bodies Are Buried (Jasmine Sharp)

by Christopher Brookmyre (Author), Christopher Brookmyre (Author), Chris Brookmyre (Author)

Synopsis

Detective Catherine McLeod was always taught that in Glasgow, they don't do whodunit. They do score-settling, vendettas and petty revenge. And however she looks at it, the discovery of a dead drug-dealer in a back alley means she's going to be busy. Meanwhile, aspiring actress Jasmine Sharp is reluctantly - and incompetently - working for her uncle Jim's private investigation business. When Jim goes missing, Jasmine has to take on the investigator mantle for real, and her only lead points to a professional assassin who has been dead for twenty years. Soon Jasmine stumbles into a web of corruption and secrets that leaves her running for her life.

Media Reviews
Where the Bodies are Buried is mainstream Glasgow noir, and it proves [Brookmyre] to be just as excellent at the gritty, serious end of the genre as he was dispensing manic humour * The Times *
Prodigiously funny and inventive, here he takes crime fans exactly where they want to go * Daily Telegraph *
His writing is as sharply observed and mordantly funny as ever. There are plenty of back-doubles and plot twists in this fast-paced read * Guardian *
It should come with a special parental warning: it will leave you emotionally exhausted (in a good way) for weeks * Sunday Business Post Ireland *
Demonstrates Brookmyre's deft building of character and realistic portrayals of everyday life * Scotsman *
