"Oh, brave new world that has such colours in it."
Well, this seems a strange book to read but it's oddly personal. When I announced to my family that I intended to go to university to study pharmacy, they said that there was a pharmacist in the family one Eric Baines who worked at May & Baker. Apparaently he was the husband of one of my father's cousins - I never did meet him. Well staring out of the pages - there he was, in charge of New Products Development who thought that the new drug showed promised when marketing were not supporting its development.
I wasn't going to buy this book as I had read the previous books by the Secret Barrister (see 8 Stories of the Law and 38 Fake Law) but I read the first page and a half in the shop and it's the best hook ever!
