That risk assessor ex of Sorcha's turned out to be right - it really was the end of the world as we knew it ...See, I thought the party was going to last forever. But just when I thought the recession couldn't get any worse, an unexpected twist in the tale threatened to take away the most precious thing in the world to me. That risk assessor ex of Sorcha's turned out to be right - it really was the end of the world as we knew it ...See, I thought the party was going to last forever. I certainly didn't believe the current economic blahdy blah was going to affect people like me. But as I watched the shutters fall, one by one, on all my old haunts - Renards, Mint, Guess Meanswear - I was forced to question all the truths that I once held as sacred. Sorcha's boutique was bleeding me dry, the Deportment of Social Welfare had stuck two yahoos in the penthouse next door, while Oisinn - his business empire in ruins - hadn't been seen since he porked his cor at Dublin Airport and took off for who knows where. 'Isn't it wonderful?' the old man went. 'Times like these, they bring out the best in people like us.' But just when I thought the recession couldn't get any worse, an unexpected twist in the tale threatened to take away the most precious thing in the world to me. Ross is back and the world is a better place for it Irish Times There's a smile per paragraph, a chuckle per page, and at least one deep belly laugh per chapter Hot Press Howard captures the insanity of celebrity culture perfectly and his pop cultural knowledge is thrilling Sunday Tribune One of the great socio-comic characters of recent times Irish Independent.
