Author:Julian Clary
Hello, I'm Johnny Debonair and this is my book - Murder Most Fab. Buy it. You won't regret it. Everything that has happened so publicly is explained. Of course, I'd prefer it if you remember me as I was at my height, before the past caught up with me so spectacularly - TV's Mr Friday Night with an enviable lifestyle and the nation at my feet. My fame might have looked easy to you at the time, but getting to the top of the celebrity ladder is hard work. It took talent, beauty, commitment and, uniquely in my case, a number of unfortunate deaths. If we were being picky you might describe me as a serial killer, but I really don't see myself that way. It sounds trite to say 'one thing led to another' but it's true.
As you'll discover I owe something of my rise and my fall to three individuals: my mother, an eccentric country girl who taught me exhibitionism by hanging naked from the clocktower of Hythe town hall; Catherine, my best friend, then partner in business - a devil in red heels, who, in her clear Essex accent, taught me how to 'look after number one'; and Timothy, who broke my heart and caused me to seek refuge in sex, money and celebrity.
But in the end you have to take responsibility for your own actions. No one was forcing me, were they? I hope you, the public, can forgive me and enjoy this sordid tale for what it is - my final entertainment for you.
A very funny novel ... I couldn't put it down
—— Janet Street Porter , Marie ClaireMurder Most Fab is a slick page-turner, darkly funny, incongruously believable ... you are completely swept along by it
—— Chrissy Iley , GuardianThis debut novel is both a shock and rather shocking. Julian Clary does good fiction
—— Henry Sutton , Daily MirrorBlack comedy runs riot as a rent boy turns killer and then TV celebrity ... a hilarious dark ride
—— Heat MagazineWith his high camp and filthy humour, Clary is as entertaining on paper as he is on stage
—— Francesca Segal , ObserverMurder Most Fab is filthy, very funny and will be adored by his fans
—— Mark Sanderson , Evening StandardClary is a good writer ... A bit as you'd expect the author himself to be, Murder Most Fab has a dirty mouth and scant regard for morals but it is also very pleasant company
—— Louis Wise , Daily ExpressWith all the ingredients that made Clary a success, plus an extra-large helping of sinister storytelling, Murder Most Fab is viciously funny and deliciously salacious
—— Rob Dawson , Gay TimesA great read, exciting, assured, fast-paced and utterly scary. Wonderful stuff
—— Adrian Magson, ShotsIf you are a fan of thrillers, then this will certainly be up your street. It is a quite a page-turner and one you certainly won't be able to put down
—— No 1 MagazineInstantly engaging and terrifying crime thriller ... once you start reading, you won't want to stop. 5 stars
—— ScarletAnyone who enjoys crime fiction will welcome this first novel
—— Scottish Home and CountryPatterson is in a class by himself.
—— VANITY FAIR... opens with one of the most chilling murder scenes I've read in a long time ... High-octane stuff
—— Daily ExpressI was completely swept along by it. It was absolutely fantastic: I romped through it. It is wonderfully-well and scarily described. There is a James Bond quality. It was inspired. Cross Country has an amazing sense of speed, there's a really brilliant tension in the plot. You really believe in Alex Cross.
You're just completely engrossed in it from start to finish. Absolutely incredible. Taking [Cross] into Africa is a masterstroke. The story is unrelentingly exciting.
