A Heart in the Right Place by
All Nick wants to do is take his dying father for a perfect father-son weekend in the Scottish Highlands. It’s not much to ask, is it? A log cabin, a roaring fire, a bottle of fine whisky and two days to paper over the cracks in their relationship.
However, Nick didn’t plan on making the trip with a dead neighbour in the back of his car. Or the neighbour’s dog. He really didn’t plan on being pursued by a psychotic female assassin intent on collecting body parts. And he really, really didn’t plan on encountering a platoon of heavily armed mercenaries, or some very hungry boars, or a werewolf.
A Heart in the Right Place – a horror comedy about setting out with the very best intentions and then messing everything up.

My Review
5 Stars
Nick has felt like he was a disappointment to his father, Tony, never really being hard working like him and his brother. So when his father is diagnosed with throat cancer, Nick decides to plan a man’s trip to Scottish Highlands. It’s supposed to be a man’s vacation with a cabin, booze, and the woods, everything Tony hates. The thing that would make it perfect is supposed to be delivered that morning before they leave and Nick is worried that if he doesn’t get it from his neighbor, where it was delivered to in error, it will ruin the trip.
He is in a panic and decides to break into his neighbor’s house but what he finds when he breaks into his neighbors house was a bit unexpected. Here we meet Finn, an assassin that is on the hunt for a heart and Nick gets mixed up with her victim. Away Nick and Tony go with Finn hot on their heels looking for the heart. Now if only Tony and Nick don’t kill each other before Finn does.
Where do I even begin to review this book? It’s dark and gory but you won’t even notice because you are laughing at Nick and Tony bickering back and forth or getting into very unexpected situations. You can’t even take these two seriously then you have an assassin hunting them down. She is like the terminator with a twist which makes this story even more unbelievable.
This is a hilarious story that will make you giggle from the very beginning. I mean a killer is trying to get them and Nick and Tony are talking about movies. They have no hope but you can’t turn away, you just have to see how this ends.
I loved this book and can’t wait to read more from Goody and Grant. You will not be disappointed with this read.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
