Jim McGuiness's debut as a novelist has it all: sport, humour, crime, excitement, amateur sleuthing, and a wonderful feel-good ending.
Ron Hansen is a most unlikely hero - an overweight, slightly conceited, seriously lazy (except when it counts), and rather too used to getting his own way - but basically likeable in spite of it all. He makes the mistake of biting off more than he can chew, but then proceeds to consume it all anyway. And though he bungles things very badly at times, he comes through as a winner - not in quite the way he had hoped, but very much as he deserves.
McGuiness has a great talent for spinning a good comic plot with plenty of action, twists and turns, but all tied up very neatly at the end. I read "Ron's Big Match" through in a single sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Highly recommended.
