These twelve short stories by this impertinent and impenitent author, based on his own experiences in both Houses of Parliament and his two years in prison, have ingeniously plotted storylines with delightfully unexpected endings. Written with a light touch, they cleverly conceal how difficult it is to write a really good short story. The third in the series, it is certainly recommended as a good read for distraction, on holiday perhaps or in the bath?
