This is the thirteenth novel in Paul Howard’s satirical Ross O’Carroll-Kelly series which began in an Irish newspaper column in 1998 and have since sold half a million copies. With a series based so much on immediate satire it’s difficult to know whether those new to the series should start way back at the beginning with The Miseducation Years and work their way through Ireland’s boom and bust or enjoy the wicked humour and present setting. For those who love Ross (or more accurately love to hate him) this is Howard back on form and the steady redemption.

Since inheriting a pile in Killiney, Ross O'Carroll-Kelly - schools rugby legend, lover of the ladeez and award-winning author - can add a new string to his not inconsiderable (you know what I mean) bow - lord of the manor. Downturn Abbey is the story of how he tackles his new responsibilities. Or not.
