The Button Man — Peter Evans

Innocuous reasons for a crime scene... exploding statues in an art gallery and ornate buttons being slyly removed from people's garments whilst they are wearing them... Peter Evans draws these events together in a hilarious whodunnit that contains colourful and charming characters. Each of the suspects and ‘supportive cast' is created in cameo form, thus giving the reader a wide variety of quirks and reasons to be the prime suspect. Peter Evans bucks the trend with crime related thrillers and perhaps begins a genre of his own making. The reasoning and investigative nuances by the main characters create twists and turns which leave the reader suspended until the final act when an unexpected and most unlikely answer is revealed... just at the point when you are likely to explode with anticipation and your buttons fly off...
