Beer Goggles — Sean Flynn

“Useless, useless bastards!”

With a thunderstorm replacing the forecasted warm sunshine, Travis's day started badly. He hoped a trip to Blackpool, with his friend Dave, would lift his spirits.

He would be wrong.

After encountering 'Uncle Fester', a naked gardener wielding a rake, and an incontinent dog, he should have turned the car around and gone home. Instead, Dave suggests a visit to the pub, where teetotaller Travis discovers a taste for alcohol.

If the opposite of serendipity existed, this would be it.

An hour later, someone calls Dave an ambulance.

Things go downhill from there.

Subsequently arrested for breaking and entering whilst wearing gorilla suits (and who knew that would be illegal), they have to convince the police they have been witness to the murder of a beautiful woman. Or have they? Or could it be, like the police suggest, a bad case of Beer Goggles?

Beer Goggles is an epic (hangover) tale of (half)wit(s) and (dutch) courage, where, thanks to the delights of alcohol, nothing is quite what it appears and where the wrong decision could cost Travis and Dave their lives.

If you like a good romp as much as you love a good yarn, Beer Goggles should be your tipple of choice.

Enjoy responsibly!

Leaning heavily on British popular culture and sayings, Beer Goggles might prove a frustrating read for those unfamiliar with the references, so it is recommended that you read the first couple of pages of the look inside before purchase. However, if you are interested in how real working class British men think and speak; or if you like your comedy novels to have a gag-rate to rival Airplane!, give it a try.

Warning: Downton Abbey, it isn't!
Beer Goggles is a 'cozy' mystery for the Twenty-First Century featuring lashings of British humour and an intriguing story-line, but no explicit sex or violence. However, with a language more reflecting of the modern-day banter of good friends, it might upset those who are easily offended.
