About this listen
Jane Bell had dreamt of playing in the casinos of Monte Carlo, but in her punk phase she got herself pregnant, and now she’s 46. She's a grandmother, her dreams as dry as the dust her Dyson sucks up from her hall carpet. Then her son, Ross, a researcher working for an arms manufacturer, is forced to disappear and to part with the secrets of his research. Jane will finally get the adventure she’s always wanted but at a price....

smashing yarn! gripping, funny & far fetched
This is my second Chris Brookmyre book and it won't be my last. I had to listen to the first ten minutes (or so) a few times but once I got into I was hooked right to the end. Sarah Barron is fantastic with the narration - well paced and nuanced. As a Scot living south of the border, it was a delight to hear her Scottish accent, but she was equally fluent and consistent whatever accent she adopted.

good listen
really well read and the story is good all the way through. I am a fan of a big boy did it and ran away but this is a close second.

Slow starter, then entertaining throughout
A thoroughly enjoyable tale that gets you on the edge of your seat one minute and laughing out loud the next. Slow to start, but well worth the wait, with great characters and disbelief only suspended slightly.

Utterly amazing
Loved this book it's brookmyre so wasn't surprised but hero was fantastic could really relate becoming mammy myself at 19 and granny at 40 and yet still being that girl inside all though I do still get excited at finding new lovely fragrance of fabric softener and delighted when new hoover gets even more muck up where my younger self would think ffs get a grip
Not just for mammys and granny's but clearly that bond is shown in a fantastic way enjoy

Gripping and Entertaining Escapism
Never a dull moment and a few hearty chortles along the way. An excellent story with twists, turns and the invitation to dream we could all be Jane Bell.

Great story.
OK the main character could be dreaming of Sean Connery, but as a bit of a romp it works top marks'
