Product Description

Someone has started killing killers and Detective Martin Murphy has gone undercover in ‘Confront’, a support group for relatives of murder victims. He suspects them of carrying out revenge killings but it seems that they have been doing their own detective work and before Murphy realises, the group is forcing him to face the harrowing events of his own past. Now Murphy must come to terms with the past whilst also bringing the killers’ killer to justice. The only problem is he’s starting to think that whoever’s doing the killing may have a point. After all, revenge is sweet... isn’t it?

By Sam
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Colin Bateman has seen less of the limelight with his more recent books when compared to the impact of his novel 'Divorcing Jack'. However, successful diversions into children’s literature, in the excellent Reservoir Pups novels, means that his popularity is on the up once more.

I for one think this is an excellent thing. All the books I have read by him have been gripping, exciting and of the top quality. This applies to 'Murphy's Revenge' too.

'Murphy's Revenge' is the long awaited sequel to 'Murphy's Law' about an undercover police officer whose offbeat tactics often get him in to trouble. With a successful TV show based on the novel, it makes sense to expand the Murphy universe. Here Murphy finds himself undercover with a group who meet to discuss losses in their family due to crime. It seems that they are seeking more than just to talk - but to revenge. Apparently a straight forward case Murphy's private life becomes involved and he soon finds his sympathy’s are not always with the law.

This novel is excellently written, dark and very funny in places. It does cover themes similar to 'Driving Big Davie' but its different enough to warrant its writing. Personally I think it’s a good reintroduction to the Martin Murphy character and should allow Bateman the opportunity to write plenty more of his adventures. Not the best Bateman novel but still one of the best books of its type - recommended.

Just as good as Murphy's Law and I would recommend that you read them back-to-back to keep the flow going! Same Murphy, different situations but still as funny, stylish and a thumping good read. You get the full story of Murphy's fear and mind numbing depression which he cannot shake but tries unconditionally with alcohol. This was touched on in the first novel 'Murphy's Law' but in this tale he starts to become less of a copper and more of a man with a mission - to seek revenge....

A brilliant follow up 14 Aug 2005
Format:Hardcover
I really enjoyed this follow up to Murphy's Law, both book are darkly funny with a well written plot. If you haven't read Bateman before, have a go.

Can't wait for the next one!
