|summary=One of the few detective novels that I've read that's laugh-out-loud funny on occasions. Characterisation is shallow but then it's meant to be pastiche. The plot is excellent with a suitable twist to the ending. It's probably not a book to reread so borrowing rather than buying might be the better option.
