Exit: The brilliantly funny new crime novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of SNAP

Product Information

There were no subtlety or complexity offered, and in fact, there was hardly any discussion about it at all. Except on his most recent mission, something goes wrong and Felix finds himself on the run for murder. It's warm and funny and dark and sad all at the same time, beautifully plotted and paced, and peopled with fabulous, complex characters that have drawn me right into their lives. He and other people help those who are terminally ill to kill themselves to avoid pain and suffering. And as the details emerge, we find that there might just be a whole lot more to the death that poor Felix finds himself embroiled in.

As Felix investigates, could it be that what he thought was a heartbreaking mistake was in fact a deliberate set up? It’s always gone to plan until one day he gets a new colleague, Amanda and they attend the suicide of Skipper Cann. I'm new to Belinda Bauer's world, but I hope she'll invite me to visit occasionally, as I have really enjoyed the time I've spent there so far. Overall, a first class read which is hard to put down and is without doubt another winner from this outstanding author who has a unique ability to blend crime with humour while presenting us with believable characters and plots. Calvin wasn’t stupid, but constantly thinking about things — like crime, for instance — required a lot more effort than he imagined it would.Bauer injects the subject of assisted dying with wit and humour, but doesn't lessen the gravity of the subject at all. Bridge was a plainclothes detective for a brief time, but felt overwhelmed, and went back to being a uniformed cop. She was a runner-up in the Rhys Davies Short Story Competition for "Mysterious Ways," about a girl stranded on a desert island with 30,000 Bibles. He doesn't have much going on, but he is part of a small organization of like-minded individuals who help those suffering at the end of life find a way out with grace and dignity. I am a huge fan of Bauer's brand of crime fiction, with her offbeat characters, and a narrative blended with wit and humour.

The police led by Calvin, a uniformed officer, who never wanted to work on cases involving murder, finds himself exactly where he never wanted to be. This is the story of how one simple mistake alters the lives of a handful of residents in the small village of Bideford.

But just fifteen minutes later Felix is on the run from the police – after making the biggest mistake of his life.
