Summary

Bryan Brizzard, a notorious bastard and owner of short-haul airline company Bryanair, hates everyone. He hates his suppliers, his employees, his passengers, and his wife and children. But, Dom Hazel discovers, he really loves his poodle, Oodle. And Hazel is an animal assassin. 

But this time it's a kidnap, and Brizzard's mansion is set in the Essex Woods where Hazel, who's trying to be faithful to Julie, finds temptation and confusion. And dogging. The plan threatens to fall apart as Hazel leaves behind more of his DNA than he intends.

A really good well written story, needed in this day and age.

Just love the humour, not a book to be reading in a public place as I did start laughing

Good book, brilliant narration

I enjoyed this book. I was a fan of Tom Sharpe and this is in that genre of comedy starring grotesque characters.
The narrator really brings the cast to life with his well chosen voices and excellent dramatisation

Certainly not Tom Sharpe

Great premise but didn’t fulfill the potential. Mildly amusing only but that’s for me, others may love it. Title was the funniest thing for me
