Harris, Joanne - Blueeyedboy

'Once there was a widow with three sons, and their names were Black, Brown and Blue.  Black was the eldest; moody and aggressive.  Brown was the middle child; timid and dull.  But Blue was his mother's favourite.  And he was a murderer.'

B.B. is a forty-two-year-old hospital porter still living at home with his mother in a Yorkshire village.  His social life is played out online, on a website called badguysrock.  There, he stalks Albertine, with whom he shares a troubled past, and spins dark murder fantasies - especially about his mother.  As the story of their tortured relationship unravels, so does that of his blood feud with his brothers, the poignant tale of a blind child prodigy, and the poisonous truth lurking in the rotting heart of one disturbed family.
