A Spot of Bother

I have read a couple of Mark Haddon books, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which is about a young boy with Asperger's syndrome who finds a dog pitchforked to the ground in his next door neighbours garden, and decides to launch a murder investigation. A highly recommended book.
A spot of bother is about an ordinary family, the Halls, in particular the normal middle aged man George. George's wife Jean is having an affair with an ex-colleague of his, his daughter Katie is getting married to a man he isn't all that keen on, and his gay son Jamie invites his lover to the wedding which ends in disaster. Whilst all this is happening, George finds a lesion on his hip, and begins to slowly go insane, thinking of -mostly gruesome- ways to get rid of it.
Its a very funny read, and its relatable, it could be happening to my family right now! George's quiet spiral downwards is entertaining, he believes you can keep some things to yourself, and going insane is one of them.
