I say "spoilers" only because if you recognize one of these recently received ARCs (note I am not giving specifics) you might not want to know more (I will of course give title/author if you want but not here)

Because after trying to read

a) the boring Irish police procedural which is perfectly competent but too slow and I just didn't care and

b) the weird creepy child abduction (which I hate) which seemed so odd I skipped to the end and holy SHIT do I not want to read that one!

and having just received Jasper Fforde's THE FOURTH BEAR in a swap (I've read it but....) I just needed to read something like this

The Gingerbreadman has escaped and is on a rampage.

"Killed two male nurses and his doctor with is bare hands. the other three orderlies who accompanied him are critical in the hospital."

"Critical?"

"Yes. Don't like the food, beds uncomfortable, waiting lists too long - usual crap. Other than that they're fine."

Rimshot please.

Sometimes you just gotta snicker.
