UK NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING COMEDY NOVEL "Actually had me crying with laughter at certain points, well written and the plot just keeps unravelling. A fantastic read all round, Highly recommend " "This is truly the best book I have read in ages. It is not for children but has a great ( and sinister) story line. The black homour had me rolling with laughter in places. Read the book in a day; it was that compelling." 'Bloodwrath' is a very black, modern-day comedy thriller in which the principal character finds that 'slaying' is much harder and far messier than expected when he uses a decorative sword to kill a burglar. Then another burglar. Then a drug-dealer... Blackmailed into further gruesome slayings, things get more complicated - and funnier. 'Bloodwrath' is not a 'who-done-it' (Roger did it); it is NOT set in Scandinavia (so all the names can be read ) and has no moral message at all. It is just for fun. It is the first in the bestselling 'Chard' series, though they can be read in any oorder. Set in modern-day Chard, England, this story contains some rather gruesome scenes and 54 instances of the 'f' word but nothing worse and definitely no 'rude stuff' to slow the plot. Not for small children. Chris Lane's style has been compared to Terry Pratchett (without the wizards) or Tom Sharpe (with more blood). He is best known as the writer of award-winning comedy drama, in constant production on stages all over the world. ALSO AVAILABLE FROM AMAZON: bestselling Fairy series set in the Dark Ages.
