' A giddy spell of sheer delight!' Praise for the Constable Twitten Series, Daily MailIn 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. . . ' Outstanding . In her ability to blend crime and farce, Truss is in a class of her own' Publishers Weekly

Glorious . . . 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 -- Praise for the Constable Twitten Series * Sunday Times Crime Club * More Marx Brothers than Agatha Christie, this is crime fiction turned on its head - a giddy spell of sheer delight -- Praise for the Constable Twitten Series * Daily Mail * Lynne Truss has great affection for her characters, who fully inhabit 1950s Brighton . . . Enormous fun -- Praise for the Constable Twitten Series, Simon Brett
