Small Faces — Jerry Raine

After five years of unemployment in London, Chris Small decides to move to the Isle of Wight where rents are cheap and the sun shines bright. After three months of being a Netflix recluse he befriends a Brazilian called Carla who works in the local corner shop, and goes for a photo-shoot with former girlfriend Holly Stamps who lives just across the water. Feeling pleased with Holly's photos, Chris slaps his face on all his social media platforms which alerts an old foe he hasn't seen for seventeen years. And as his friendship with Carla becomes more physical, her ex-boyfriend in Portsmouth isn't too pleased to find out that she's seeing someone else. In this long awaited sequel to ‘Small Change' Chris soon realizes that being a recluse was probably a safer way to live, and that being stuck on an island can prove to be a tricky place from which to escape. ‘Jerry Raine is a master of the suburban crime novel.'
