You know, I spend more time than is probably healthy considering what shelves to put things under on Goodreads, and when I went to look at the most popular shelves for this book, well. There's so much variation! Apparently more people consider this chick-lit than they do thriller, and more people consider it mystery than either. For me, mysteries tend to conjure up sleepy little villages and Miss Marple; they certainly don't have psychotic rapist boxers and drug running and exploding stolen cars. So, thriller it is... but it's funny, as well. And that's such an odd combination. How many funny thrillers do you run in to? I think this is my first.

But, you know what, I liked it. It's a fun, easy read and it's the first book in a series and I'm going to read more of them. There are lots of them to read. And maybe there's lots because combining humour and thriller is an unusual but clearly marketable (and entertaining!) combination. Good for the author. And good for me, who has had my genre horizons expanded.
