 A much more serious book for Ben Elton, took a while to get used to it but a great main character and a great story...

 Here Ben Elton moves away from his usual brilliant but uncomfortable takes on Modern Culture or lack thereof. A murder investigation carried out at the Front Line during WW1 where all the witnesses and probably the murderer are being legally slaughtered, while legally slaughtering. Brilliant.

 This was the first Ben Elton book I read and I was far from disappointed. His concise, witty style is addictive and his characters are intriguing. Definitely a fan.

 Not a bad read, it held my interest and I read it quite quickly for me. The setting and characters were believable although some of the events were a little too far fetched.
