Murder by Milk Bottle: an utterly addictive laugh-out-loud English cozy mystery: A Constable Twitten Mystery
Autor Lynne Trussen Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 iul 2021
THE ACCLAIMED MURDER MYSTERY FROM SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR, PERFECT FOR FANS OF RICHARD OSMAN
'Funny, clever, charming, imaginative and nostalgic' The Times
'Terrific' Mail on Sunday
'A giddy spell of sheer delight' Daily Mail
The August bank holiday is approaching and after two extremely high-profile murder cases, Constable Twitten is eagerly anticipating a quiet spell at work. But then they find the bodies - and the milk bottles.
Three seemingly unconnected victims - a hard-working AA patrolman, a would-be Beauty Queen, a catty BBC radio personality - have all been killed with the same, highly unusual murder weapon. Constable Twitten, Sergeant Brunswick and Inspector Steine are initially baffled, the town is alarmed, and the local newspaper is delighted: after all, what sells papers better than a killer on the loose?
Can our redoubtable trio solve the case and catch this most curious of killers before they strike again?
'The glorious return of Constable Twitten is a cause for celebration... the fun is in Truss's keen ear for dialogue, original comic characters and affectionate(ish) recreation of a seaside resort in its slightly sleazy heyday' Sunday Times Crime Club

Recenzii
Murder by Milk Bottle is the third outing for Lynne Truss's loveable seaside ninnies. In relating and relishing the farcical events that culminate in the "Utterly Preventable Milk-Bar Riot", it proves even funnier than its playful precursors
The glorious return of Constable Twitten and the doughty coppers of 1950s Brighton for a third adventure is a cause for celebration ... As ever the fun is in Truss's keen ear for dialogue, original comic characters and affectionate(ish) recreation of a seaside resort in its slightly sleazy heyday
A delight. Lynne Truss has great affection for her characters, who fully inhabit 1950s Brighton. The backgrounds of gang warfare and milk marketing come together to sublime comic effect. There are some lovely lines - and a cheerily high body count. Enormous fun
Outstanding . In her ability to blend crime and farce, Truss is in a class of her own
A nicely managed farce with thoroughly likeable characters and a terrific period feel
More Marx Brothers than Agatha Christie, this is crime fiction turned on its head - a giddy spell of sheer delight
[A] pitch-perfect send-up of 1950s Brighton with nods to Graham Greene ... Hilarious
Funny, clever, charming, imaginative, nostalgic and gently satirical
