Something To Live For - Richard Roper

Andrew is a bit of a loner.  He lives by himself in a small flat and works for the local council.  When people die in council properties with no family or friends, it is up to Andrew and his team to see if they can discover next of kin, and to organise funerals for the deceased.  His best friends are some other online model train enthusiasts and Andrew is content to live alone without anyone to bother him.

His problem is that he has been avoiding his sister and may have happened to have told a couple of lies to his work colleagues.  Of course you know that there are going to be consequences to his action.  Look I liked the concept, but the character of Andrew felt very familiar to me and  quite like the main character in a movie I saw a couple of years ago called Still Life.  4/5
