In the latest installment of this funny, charming and quirky series - longlisted for the acclaimed CWA Historical Dagger - our trio of redoubtable detectives are faced with the arrival in town of an escaped criminal with an unlikely penchant for boiling the heads of policemen....

It's September in Brighton, and the city is playing host to weeks of endless rain and lashings of villainy.

A trusted member of a local gang has disappeared part way through planning a huge heist, a violent criminal obsessed with boiling the heads of policemen has escaped Broadmoor and is rumoured to be headed towards the city, while at Gosling's department store, an American researcher has been found dead in the music section.

Inspector Steine has other things on his mind - since the triumphant conclusion to his last case, Steine has so many awards and invitations coming his way that he has had to take on a secretary - but Sergeant Brunswick and Constable 'Clever Clogs' Twitten are both on the case.

If only they could work out just who is behind these dastardly acts.

Critic reviews

"Outstanding. In her ability to blend crime and farce, Truss is in a class of her own." (Publishers Weekly)

I’m hooked on the series which is laugh out loud funny, gruesome, complex, smart, tender. My two favorite audiobook teams are now Wodehouse read by Jonathan Cecil and Lynne Truss read by Matt Green. Having grown up in the US during the sexist, racist 1950s, it’s healing to listen to this Punch and Judy version of those days.

Truss + Green. It doesn’t get better than this.

I cannot understand the ratings. I am am a voracious reader and have read many of this type, but this was one of the most boring books I have ever read. It wasn't funny. Read Simon Brett if you want to understand the difference between what this author offers and Brett's keen instinct for satire, dry humor, wit and cleverness. This story was awful.

Not for me - awful
