Critics Review
What’s better than a good crime novel? I’ll tell you - a spoof crime novel, by the absurdly funny and clever Fergus Craig * Miranda Hart *
Fergus Craig is one of the funniest people I know and this book proves it. I can’t wait for you to get involved in his VERY silly thriller. We all need more laughs like this * Aisling Bea *
Laugh out loud funny. Detective Roger Le Carre is a crime-solving comedy GOD * Mark Billingham *
Tea-spittingly hilarious. Shades of Spike Milligan, Douglas Adams and Alan Partridge * Chris Brookmyre *
Funny and gripping * Dara Ó Briain *
A book so funny it makes you wish you were the subject of a murder investigation in Exeter * Al Murray *
Exceptionally funny… crime writing (in the Exeter area) will never be the same * Marcus Brigstocke *
Detective Roger LeCarre is lovable, funny and absurd. This book is Wodehousian in spirit and style. You laugh out loud, and you wonder how it is that in a staged country-house setting, where murder is done, you can still care. And then you realise that you’ve enjoyed it. A fictional romp to savour. * James Naughtie (for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize) *
I laughed out loud at the very first line. And it just got funnier from there. Like Les Dawson playing the piano, Fergus Craig is a master of brilliantly hilarious terrible writing. * Richard Herring *
