Synopsis

‘AN EXQUISITELY PACED BLACK COMEDY. IT HAS CLEVER AND FUNNY THINGS TO SAY. THERE WAS A RUMOUR THAT WELSH’S LAST BOOK, PORNO, WAS TO BE HIS LAST. YOU’LL BE GLAD IT WASN’T’ EVENING STANDARD
At Edinburgh’s Department of Environmental Health, hard-drinking, womanizing officer Danny Skinner wants to uncover secrets: ‘the bedroom secrets of the master chefs’, secrets he believes might just help him understand his self-destructive impulses. But the arrival of the virginal, model-railway enthusiast Brian Kibby at the department provokes an uncharacteristic response in Skinner, and threatens to throw his mission off course. Consumed by loathing for his nemesis, Skinner enacts a curse, and when Kibby contracts a horrific and debilitating mystery virus, Skinner understands that their destinies are supernaturally bound, and he is faced with a terrible dilemma. . .
‘Bedroom Secrets flickers with the dynamism, black humour and imaginative bravado that is Welsh at his best’ Financial Times
‘Vintage Welsh: brilliant, graphic, with frequent forays into the grotesque’ Sunday Tribune
‘Rattles along with impressive energy’ Daily Telegraph
‘A beautifully controlled novel’ Literary Review
