Things to do when you would rather be dead by Michael Guillebeau


⭐⭐⭐
I would like to thank NetGalley and Books Go Social for an Advanced Reader Copy of this book in return for an honest and fair review. 

A cop out to catch the murderer of his wife and child. A cop bent on redemption, on a mission to capture a serial killer. Bog standard so far but its the characters in this book are its U.S.P. Our hero is a fat, cynical, self depreciating semi alcoholic. He has been busted down from detective to police department mascot/clown/school talk type guy. His help comes in the form of an equally chunky, feisty schoolteacher/love interest and loose gang of ex govt officials who drink at his local. Billed as a comedy, it is not laugh out loud but gently entertaining in parts. The plot is enjoyable but as I say the author has developed some lovely, likeable, witty and real life characters. Think it could do with a more memorable title. Enjoyable, feel good adventure perfect easy reading.
