From the award-winning author of Pandaemonium.

In Glasgow, aspiring actress Jasmine Sharp is reluctantly - and incompetently - earning a crust working for her uncle Jim's private investigation business. When Jim goes missing, Jasmine has to take on the investigator mantle for real. Soon she stumbles into a web of corruption and decades-hidden secrets that could tear apart an entire police force - if she can stay alive long enough to tell the tale…©2011 Christopher Brookmyre (P)2011 W F Howes Ltd Crime Fiction Mystery Fiction Crime Funny Scary Suspense

Had to give up on this after a few hours as it didn’t hold my attention and I found it it difficult to keep track of all the different characters so found my mind wandering

Couldn’t get into it

this was entertaining enough but something in me gets despondent when I have to deal with yet another vaguely incompetent and ditsy female character who saves the day despite her shortcomings.
could we have a vaguely stupid and bumbling man for a change?

The plot was well constructed and clever. The whole was spoilt, however, by the excessive introspection of the 2 main female protagonists, especially at the beginning. It made one want to scream ‘Get on with it!’ It is certainly worth giving the author another chance.

Clever plot
