I do love it when I open a book, it's nothing like I expected it to be, and it takes me on a wild ride. And that is just what happened with ''The Big Happy''. I don't want to ruin a similar experience for any of you reading but I'll have to at least set the scene. Once that's done, I think you should simply experience this wonderfully original story for yourself.
It's the year 4050. In April. On Friday the thirteenth. And the Family Guy has murdered yet another married couple and their children. This family annihilator has struck more than twenty times and extreme measures are now required. We arrive at the scene of the latest crime - a room in the Caesar's Palace casino, Las Vegas and in 4050, this is now in England, which is part of the Popular Republic, or PopRep as it likes to call itself. The victims are Kanyeand are Kanye and Kiera Sinatra and their children Jay-Z, seven, and Beyoncé, five. The scene is horrific.
Sent in to catch this serial killer is Det Top Boss Miranda (Randy) Miller. Miranda is not happy to find herself forced to speak in IngoLingo, the street slang used in the PopRep but she grits her teeth and gets on with it. I'd recommend readers who are also getting on with it in chapter one refer to the glossary in an appendix at the end of the book if they want to have a clue what's going on. Think Clockwork Orange's Nasdat, but passed through a social media lens and you're about there.
