I loved Squeaky Clean and Paperboy is a superb follow up, a darkly comic ‘tartan noir’. With much of it in dialect it can occasionally require concentration, but it’s a generally an easy read (especially if you say the dialogue in your head whilst you read!).
Paperboy picks up where squeaky clean left off - its definitely not a ‘start with the second part’ type series - and throws you right back in with the gang conflicts, dodgy police and people just trying to get by without getting any part of them too close to an industrial shredder - recognisable day to day activities…. It may not be terribly realistic, but it’s gripping, funny and has a a unique tone all of its own. More please

Did you read Squeaky Clean? If not, why not?
This is much the same, dark, brutal, violent, funny and incredibly good.
There's a lot going on, many people to keep track of, but you do, because the story is told well. The characters are memorable (in the book. Don't ask me about them next week)
This being book 2, makes me hope we can expect book 3.
Great stuff.

Really saw improvements in the authors writing style here I thought this was better than the last. I love the Glasgow setting and Glasgow in jokes...thanks for the ARC this a series of books I'll stick with I hope there is more
