Popping in quickly to draw your attention to this crime novel laced with humour from author Martin JP Devaney.
Here are the book details for you:
Blurb: Meet Martin, a broke British drama teacher trying to make ends meet in a picturesque Irish town. Saddled with a subprime mortgage containing terms & conditions that even loan sharks would disapprove of, he seeks a deadly escape route. A healthy payout would be some consolation should anything happen to his dear wife, like being bitten by the viper housed in his terrarium (It's like a corner of Arizona but in the good room).
Enter Laura, a beautiful staff nurse and medieval weaponry expert who has ruthless plans of her own. None of them involve being murdered.
Accusations of being an MI6 operative complicate Martin's plans, and with dissident Republicans, possibly the Taliban, and Ed Sheeran breathing down his neck, he unwittingly sets the stage for murder. Someone is going to die.
Most likely during the Lough Ree International Pike Fishing Festival.
The premise sounds great fun and right up my street, so I am looking forward to bringing you a review soon!
