Omschrijving
A knockabout farce of mayhem and murder … A feast of black humour
A knockabout farce of mayhem and murder … A feast of black humour
A welcome second outing ... Lynne Truss is clearly having a great time — and so does the reader. There is a smile, giggle or guffaw on every page
[An] entertaining new crime series … Truss’s affection for a rollicking, twisty caper has transferred to the page with ease … There’s some fine storytelling on display here
Funny, clever, charming, imaginative, nostalgic and gently satirical
A farce that gathers hilarious pace with every page … More Marx Brothers than Agatha Christie, this is crime fiction turned on its head – a giddy spell of sheer delight
With plenty of brightly coloured bucket-and-spadery, including ghost trains and Punch and Judy and variety acts, this clever, tongue-in-cheek escapade is a perfect summer read
It takes a writer of Lynne Truss’s wit and intelligence ... to take on both the cosy and comic fields, shaking them up to forge something fresh and beguiling ... Delightfully witty
Lynne Truss is a columnist, writer and broadcaster whose book on punctuation Eats, Shoots & Leaves was an international bestseller. She has written extensively for radio, and is the author of six previous novels, as well as a non-fiction account (Get Her Off the Pitch!) of her four years as a novice sportswriter for The Times. On radio, she is currently engaged in writing a continuing sequence of short stories for Radio 4 entitled Life at Absolute Zero. Her columns have appeared in the Listener, The Times, the Sunday Telegraph and Saga. She lives in Sussex and London with two dogs.
