Highly recommended, one of my favourite reads of recent years: structurally and narratively adventurous, written with passion and creative daring, a thrilling wallow (complimentary) in the psyche of a truly unpleasant human being. A great novel.

They don’t know what they are missing.

This book has been out four years now - I sent six copies out to authors at the time - not one ever read it. It's been available for 99p on the kindle since it came out - last years royalties were around £20. Even though it's had 56 reviews on Goodreads, it just died a death.
