Our protagonist, the Mystery Man still hasn't revealed his name albeit he is now officially a father though he still doubts it's his. He is still very much the anti-hero, the breaker of the gentlemen's code and everything honourable. We share the same allergies o Okay, this is the second time I have to write a review of this book because my shitty internet connection starts acting up while I was just saving my review.
We share the same allergies on multiple things but mine isn't as chronic as his. At least, my bones aren't brittle.

I think he's sexually confused, he knew a port where the happy people meet secretly that not most locals know of and he has a history of being molested at an early age by one of his mother's fling. So yeah, that's the base of my conviction. I have the same feeling as him about Alison; I think she sleeps around.
It's very much refreshing to know about our protagonist using hints and clues he always left us, making this book a little puzzle for everyone to enjoy. Last but not least, this book is horrifyingly funny. And so's your face.

I picked up Dr. Yes in an airport not knowing it's the 3rd in a series which started with 'Mystery Man'. Even though the characters were not familiar to me I found the book to be a very funny , enjoyable read. I don't think Bateman has changed style at all, maybe for me it is just a case of absence making the heart grow fonder. He is still a l I've been reading Colin Bateman ever since the wonderful 'Divorcing Jack' but fell out of love with his style and gradually stopped looking for his books.
He is still a laugh out loud funny writer with a dark edge. Highly recommended for anyone who likes this style and I'm definitely going to read the first 2 books in the series. Worth reading for the last line alone. This time the wife of a cult writer seems to have died during a radical surgical makeover at a plush clinic and the grieving widower suspects a cover up. Others believe she has simply ditched the loser for a new life. Our 'hero' is as exasperatingly self-absorbed as ever and his hypochrondri Worth reading for the last line alone. Our 'hero' is as exasperatingly self-absorbed as ever and his hypochrondria rampant, but the blossoming of the hard man Rolo is truly moving.
Apr 26, Ginnz rated it liked it. There were moments in the book that reminded me why I like Bateman books so much. Clever whit with punchy dialog and obscure stories that twist and turn and never end the place you think they will. Then there is the other side, when I really don't care about the main character's "weak wrists" or "Moss allergies" as an excuse not to do the hard yards. Don't get me wrong all those comments normally make me smile.

It just felt like there were more of them in this Bateman effort, it didn't add to the story and makes the character more annoying, which leads this reader to stop reading. Feb 08, Kevin Brown rated it really liked it. An interesting take on crime fiction and Belfast. Sure to read more of Bateman's work.
Another brilliantly funny outing for the Shopkeeper with No Name and his minions. So very like 'Black Books' with dollops of murder and mayhem. I still think that a lot of the crime fiction references go over my head but I have enough familiarity with the genre to get some of them at least.

It's great fun if you enjoy this kind of thing though do begin with Book 1 - Mystery Man because these don't really work as stand-alones. Apr 01, Fulton Ross added it. Laughed out loud in certain places. Batemen's dialogue is humerous and biting. This is probably the best Mysetery Man novel I've read so far, concering the case of the Pearl Necklace. Oct 13, Doreen Dalesandro rated it really liked it Shelves: I love Colin Bateman 's sense of humor. His protagonist is such a jerk you've gotta love him ;- Stephen Armstrong does a fantastic job narrating: Jun 10, Chris Logan rated it really liked it.
Another part in the continuing story of Mystery Man. One of the most self centred, selfish, money grabbing hypercondriacs there is but still a brilliant character. Dialogue and insights are top notch and funny as well. Enjoyed the book immensely. Jul 08, Warren Olson rated it really liked it. An easy read, OK storyline - and some great dialogue. Sep 08, Ellen added it. Jan 10, Sarah Hazell rated it really liked it.
