Product Description

Book Description

Set in the classrooms of an underachieving UK comprehensive, the poverty-ridden favelas of Brazil and the scenic peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Evil Women follows a seemingly disparate set of individuals, charting the lengths each will go to in the hope of getting what they want.

As their paths are drawn closer together, they discover that desperation and desire may be enough to make the heart beat faster, but only faith can move mountains.

From the writer of Plus One comes Evil Women; a gripping story laced with dark humour, detailing the fates of those who invest their faith in religion, relationships or regular bowel movements...

From the Back Cover

...Everybody's looking for something...

Rainer Crossan is looking to recapture the excitement of his youth... Abigail Silverman is looking to snare a rich husband... Andy Medcalf is looking for the clues to crack his biggest case yet... Remigio Ruiz is looking for safe passage in South America... Bernard The Bearded Tickler is looking for the perfect bowel movement.

Eugene Goldstein has found the answers they all seek. Answers that will soon bring their lives together in a truly explosive showdown.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you like Carl Hiaasen you may well like this., 6 Dec 2008
By Mark Hayward (London, Uk) - See all my reviews
Don't be put off by the title, this is not a polemic against women, or even a serial-killer whodunnit as the cover illustration may suggest, but a wonderfully black-humoured and good-natured assemblage of seemingly disparate plot threads and characters that all come together very satisfyingly towards the end - the kind of multi-stranded plotting that makes both Carl Hiaasen and Fawlty Towers such paragons of their respective genres.

Larmour cleverly mixes wild humour with serious thought-provocation, realistic and sympathetic characters and situations with more surreal types and circumstances that make for a read with increasing momentum ("a real page-turner" in short), but doesn't lose his nerve and go over the top the way Hiaasen has recently; the grimness of one of the story's threads is finely balanced and sensitively maintained.
