The feel-good place to buy books
Blotto, Twinks and the Stars of the Silver Screen by Simon Brett
The seventh hair-raising adventure featuring the aristocratic brother and sister sleuthing duo!
A hilarious and old-fashioned whodunit romp in the mold of PG. Wodehouse and Agatha Christie, with just a tiny dollop of John Buchan thrown in for good measure. Highly entertaining * The New York Journal of Books *
Simon Brett has a deft hand with parody, playfulness and punch lines * Read Me Deadly *
Simon Brett is one of British crime's most assured craftsmen, with idiosyncratic characters proving winning creations... A feast of red herrings, broadly drawn characters, and gentle thrills and spills litter the witty plot. Crime writing just like in the good old days, and perfect entertainment * THE GUARDIAN on Simon Brett *
Murder most enjoyable... An author who never takes himself that seriously, and for whom any fictional murder can frequently form part of the entertainment industry -- Colin Dexter on Simon Brett
A very traditional English mystery, the characters are as entertaining, charismatic and all out fantastic as they were in the first. Mystery readers will want the adventures of Blotto and Twinks to continue for a very long time to come * Feathered Quill Book Reviews on Blotto, Twinks and the Dead Dowager Duchess *
