We start with a begrudging pub landlord, Dave, who has a shed out the back of his pub that he always keeps locked. The only thing inside this shed is a broken washing machine with no door. On the day on which the book begins a delivery of 'imitation' alcohol is taking place and Dave, in his haste, forgot to lock the shed again. The opportunistic driver sees his chance when Dave answers the ringing phone and steals the washing machine (I know one man's rubbish is another man's treasure but I think this is taking it a bit far!). The entire story all comes back to this seemingly insignificant event. Would the book have panned out the way it did if the washing machine had never been stolen?
Stuart Ayris can always be relied on to bring you more than a story, he gives you a brilliant story, written well, and also gives you something to chew on. I can never finish one of his books and move on to the next forgetting that I ever read it, I am always left with plenty to think about. This one left me wanting to be an angel so I shall say "Good morning" and be on my way.
