Leírás:
The charming first novel in a new comic crime series set in Brighton, from one of Britain's most-loved writers, the incomparable Lynne Truss
After the notorious 'Middle Street Massacre' of 1951, when the majority of Brighton's criminals wiped one another out in a vicious battle as the local police force enjoyed a brief stop en route for an ice cream, Inspector Steine rather enjoys life as a
policeman. No criminals, no crime, no stress. He just wishes Sergeant Brunswick would stop insisting that perhaps not every criminal was wiped out that fateful day.
So it's really rather annoying when an ambitious -not to mention irritating - new Constable shows up to work and starts investigating a series of burglaries. And it's even more annoying when, after Constable Twitten is despatched to the theatre for the
night, he sits next to a vicious theatre critic who is promptly shot dead part way through the opening night of a new play.
It seems Brighton may be in need of a police force after all
'More Marx Brothers than Agatha Christie, this is crime fiction turned on its head a giddy spell of
sheer delight' Daily Mail
The first novel in a fabulous new comic crime series from much loved author Lynne Truss, perfect for fans of M. C.
Beaton, Celia Imrie and James Runcie's Grantchester series.
Eats Shoots and Leaves sold over one million copies (TCM) and won the British Book Awards Book of the Year in 2004
Lynne Truss has a significant media profile, with a weekly Sunday Telegraph column and frequent drama series on
BBC Radio 4. The hardback release of A Shot in the Dark received excellent review coverage.
