Has anyone read the Colin Bateman Mystery Man series? I am just reading Fire & Brimstone, which I *think* is the 5th in the series. The last one I read, The Prisoner of Brenda, is definitely #4, but there are so many references to things that have happened in his past in Fire & Brimstone which didn't happen in The Prisoner of Brenda (a significant character dying, for instance) that I am beginning to wonder if I have missed a book in the series.
Annoyingly, none of the listings I can find of Fire & Brimstone (including the author's own site and Amazon) mention which number in the series it is, and FictFact doesn't have it as part of the series at all, only going up to #4.
Great series, BTW, about a Belfast bookseller who works as a Private Eye on the side. Laugh out loud funny at times.
