This is a really great book. The central character, Roarty, is a pub landlord driven to murder his lecherous and annoying barman, Eamonn Eales. The disposal of Eales's body in the nearby bog leads to Roarty being blackmailed. 'Bogmail' is packed with dark humour and well-crafted characters, and has various sub-plots
concerning different regulars in Roarty's pub. Some of the dialogue had me splitting my sides with laughter. A thoroughly recommended read. It's about time this book was back in print!
