Bollocks indeed. (Though G.Expectations is the best Dickens by far.) Don't read this on public transport or you will come across as a loon: Mystery Man by Colin Bateman. Set in Belfast, a Crime Bookshop owner becomes a private eye by default. He is in the usual heroic mould: borderline autistic, an agoraphobic, hypochondriac virgin. It is very silly but fun to read.
