I read this after hearing an interview with Bob Mortimer where I got the impression that it would give me a lot of laughs. I did smile wryly but not the laughs. It was a good story, gripping at times. There was no "psychological realism" but it's not that kind of book. I found the incident with the dog being kidnapped by the homeless guy quite menacing. He knows how to elicit a range of emotions. I particularly liked the end where all the loose ends are tied up. Someone complained about how unlikely that was - but Dickens used to do that so he's in good company. I recommend this book but not if you're needing a good laugh.
