Only three months late, we finally met to discuss this Christopher Brookmyre book suggested by [livejournal.com profile] ealuscerwen. Something I didn't know beforehand is that the title comes from this poem.

Discussion - contains spoilers )

To summarise: Three of the four members (other than [livejournal.com profile] ealuscerwen who recommended it) enjoyed the book and had been purchasing other titles by the same author. The genre could be described as thriller/comedy and is effectively a light-hearted Die Hard (and aims to be).

Book Club members: Please make suggestions for additions, amendments, etc to this account. Also, could absent Book Club members add their comments.

This was my last Book Club session. Since the London Book Club was relaunched we've read Orlando ([livejournal.com profile] frax), We Need To Talk About Kevin ([livejournal.com profile] al_fruitbat), The Art of Murder (me), The Unbearable Lightness Of Being (Kate), One Fine Day In The Middle Of The Night ([livejournal.com profile] ealuscerwen) and the next book will be The Veiled Kingdom ([livejournal.com profile] _alanna) - which I will probably post comments on, having read it. I've very much enjoyed the meetings and the books. Wishing the group all the best for the future (I'll be watching the book recommendations closely!)
