Dover One by Joyce Porter
Detective Chief Inspector Wilfred Dover is the most idle and avaricious hero in all of crime fiction. Why should he even be bothered to solve the case?“You will be fascinated by his sheer dazzling incompetencePorter has a keen eye, a wicked sense of comedy, and a delightfully low mind.”
* Harper’s *“Something quite out of the ordinary.”
* Daily Telegraph *
“Joyce Porter is a joy… Dover is unquestionably the most entertaining detective in fiction.”
* Guardian *
“Plotted with the technique of a virtuoso.”
* New York Times *
“Wonderfully funny.”
* Spectator *
“Dover is wildly, joyously unbelievable; and may he remain so for our comic delight.”
