Cee Cee Evans has one hell of an imagination, or at least I hope it’s imagination, because this murder mystery whodunnit tale is as gritty as they come. Don’t give this book to your granny unless your gran is Joan Collins or Sylvia Kristel. Expect lots of swearing, sex and other unprintable words beginning with S. If you’re looking for a complex whodunnit, then you’re in the right place and like all good mysteries, it’s never the person you think it is.

You know, a novella is good when it starts with the line ‘undercurrent of hatred has reached a whole new level after the death of Masha Amini, a twenty-two-year-old university student who was savagely beaten by the morality police.’ And ends with ‘Men! Well, screw them all. I order another Margarita.’

Some people are incredibly creative, and Ferda is one of them—an actor with a postgraduate degree from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. HAPPYAGONY is a collection of personal poems.
