Description

A wryly entertaining new crime caper from Lynne Truss, author of the funniest crime novel of 2018 (Wall Street Journal) and the New York Times bestseller Eats, Shoots & Leaves. 1957: In the beach town of Brighton, music is playing and guests are sunning themselves, when a young man is found dead, dripping blood, in a deck chair. Constable Twitten of the Brighton Police Force has a hunch that the fiendish murder may be connected to a notorious nightspot, but his captain and his colleagues are-as ever-busy with other more important issues. Inspector Steine is being conned into paying for the honor of being featured at the Museum of Wax, and Sergeant Brunswick is trying (and failing) to get the attention of the distraught Brighton Belles who found the body. As the case twists and turns, Constable Twitten must find the murderer and convince his colleagues that theres an evil mastermind behind Brightons climbing crime rate. Our incomparable team of detectives are back for another outing in the second installment of Lynne Trusss joyfully quirky crime series.
