A hilarious dark comedy about a family who seem to get away with murder
Most families have a problem with their freezer at some point or other. So too the Benardinos. Yet their problem is of a very unusual nature. Despite running out of places to store the bodies of previous unwelcome guests, gin-soaked mother Virginia has organised a party to celebrate her fifty-fourth birthday. Will anyone get out alive?
BROWN BREAD is a laugh-out-loud light-hearted satirical take on a genre that the whole family can enjoy. Not literally of course!
The many readers familiar with Pete Brassett's crime fiction featuring detectives Munro and West in the series of ten books beginning with SHE and ending with TURPITUDE, are in for a treat. BROWN BREAD is something quite different, and if you don't laugh until you cry, you should get you money back; although you won't.
"Hilarious, unlike anything I've read before. I couldn't put this book down." Donald Heathcote
"If you liked the films The Ladykillers or Arsenic and Old Lace, you will love this book!" Damon Martin
"Deliciously dark comedy, blacker than the polish on a good inspector's boot." Susan Freeman
In addition to the aforementioned series, Pete Brassett is also the author of the thrillers THE GIRL FROM KILKENNY, KISS THE GIRLS and THE WILDER SIDE OF CHAOS, the murder mystery PRAYER FOR THE DYING, the personal memoir YELLOW MAN and the heart-warming romance CLAM CHOWDER AT LAFAYETTE AND SPRING, all available on kindle and kindle unlimited. Many of these titles are now out in paperback.
Genre: Mystery
