Another great entry!
By far the most political book in series, very heavy handed with outrage and confusion about 2016 events from the author. He created a version of Farage who gets murdered in a funny way.
As for the characters:
Shirley is officially my favourite, very sad she didn't manage to stay clean till the end.
Taverner maybe comes across non-monstrous here, even telling Catherine the truth is fair game.
Whelan could have done with more attention, I assume he is done and will not appear again.
Coe is great, really enjoy him and his batshit antics.
River and Louisa are a bit meh here, Shirley was really the focus.
Wished Ho got even more broken down than he did, lucky weasel.
Lamb still sucks.
Anyways, still a big fan and will definitely start next one soon.
