One Fine Day In The Middle Of The Night by Christopher Brookmyre
5.0
One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night = Action films + Amateurs + School reunion.
This book is humour, plot, action, romance, gore and more humour in a perfect little parcel.
The references to action films throughout the book are the perfect accompaniment to the plot. The book is more realistic in its portrayal of ordinary people put in a Die Hard-esque situation(Ally McQuade vomiting on a bad guy from the air ducts) , while simultaneously being more fantastical (Matt Black taking out a bad guy with a circular sander-cum-masonry saw) .
Of course the return of Hector McGregor is a wonderful thing. If Ally McQuade isn't enough comic relief for you, McGregor will not disappoint(unless you're really fond of sheep) .
This book is just really neat, in every meaning of the word.
