I’m very pleased to welcome the Book Tour for Mark Peppers’s Man Down to The Irresponsible Reader this morning! I have a million things to say about this book, but 999,995 of them would be spoilers, so it’s going to be a struggle to contain myself. I’ve got this little spotlight post and my thoughts about the novel coming along in a bit. Let’s start by learning a little about this book, okay?

About the Book

Matt Spiller drives a souped-up taxi, suffers from SAD, and has a troublesome past. It’s Christmas Eve, and one of his fares is about to become extremely problematic.

Helen Spiller still loves her husband, but can no longer live with his moods. She’s a wonderful mum, with a screw quietly working loose in her head.

Now, their eldest daughter has hooked up with a very bad boyfriend. Spiller thinks he has the skillset to handle all these problems. He’s dead wrong.
