Detective Roger LeCarre. Scourge of crime. Guardian of Exeter. Amateur squash player. And now, party guest at Powderham, the manor house owned by mysterious billionaire tech genius Eli Quartz.
It is a small and unconventional gathering: the Bishop, a fading radio star, a desperate aristocrat, the aging butler and his absurdly beautiful daughter - and Detective Roger LeCarre. Then a snowstorm blows in and the group realise they are trapped.
And when, completely against expectations for this kind of situation, someone winds up dead, it's obvious who must solve the crime. Obvious, but for the fact the murder weapon was in Detective Roger LeCarre's hand, and the body was at his feet...
Murder at Crime Manor was shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction on 4 October, 2023.

Recenzii
What's better than a good crime novel? I'll tell you - a spoof crime novel, by the absurdly funny and clever Fergus Craig
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
Laugh out loud funny. Detective Roger Le Carre is a crime-solving comedy GOD
Tea-spittingly hilarious. Shades of Spike Milligan, Douglas Adams and Alan Partridge
Funny and gripping
A book so funny it makes you wish you were the subject of a murder investigation in Exeter
Exceptionally funny... crime writing (in the Exeter area) will never be the same
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.
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.
