Random Things Tours: No One Would Do What the Lamberts Have Done by Sophie Hannah

Who decreed that crime mysteries should not be funny? No One Would Do What the Lamberts Have Done by bestseller author Sophie Hannah proved the impossible with grace and inspiration. 

From the choice of the characters and the plot lines, this book beats all expectations. Hannah is a complex author, who explored before many aspects of the crime genre and even a bit a horror, but this time it went beyond any creative limits.

Just to keep you interested and curious: we have a furry character who risks to be in huge trouble, two families that hate each other and a village too small for so many conflicts. The crime line of plot is not very clear and I doubted myself several times until the end of the book - full disclosure: all my assumptions were false. The characters are hard to like, they are hilarious, grotesque even, especially the women.

Short story short: Sophie Hannah went again against all odds, pushed far away the limits of the genre and wrote a book that it´s hard to equal. I don´t remember when was the last time, if ever, when I laughed my lungs out while reading a crime novel but it´s always a first time.

If you want to have a completely unique reading experience, use this weekend for discovering No One Would Do What the Lamberts Have Done.
