Synopsis
Like a highball mix of Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen, Christopher Brookmyre hits you hard and fast. Now Brookmyre is back with his most lethal book yet: One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night. Gavin Hutchinson had it all planned out. A unique "floating holiday experience" on a converted North Sea oil rig, a haven for tourists who want a vacation but without the hassle of actually going anywhere. And what better way to test out his venture than to host a fifteenth-year high school reunion, the biggest social event of his life, except no one remembers who Gavin is. That, and his wife has discovered his philandering ways and plans to leave him with a very public announcement in front of his assembled guests. Throw in a band of mercenaries who crash the party even though they aren't on the guest list, and you have a wicked farce of a thriller from one of the most original voices in mystery fiction.

From AudioFile
The former pupils of Glasgow's St. Michael's are invited to a free reunion at classmate Gavin Hutchinson's resort on a disused oil platform. Trouble begins immediately and escalates when terrorists raid the isolated hotel. Narrator Kenny Blyth is terrific as he lends believability to a wide range of characters and situations that ranges from graphic violence to dark comedy and poignancy as old scores are settled. Blyth gives authenticity to farce, irony, and one-liners. Particularly entertaining is the comparison of TV and movie crime with real crime. In addition to mystery buffs, those who enjoy superior writing and narration are in for a unique experience. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
