Critics Review

A hilarious and old-fashioned whodunit romp in the mold of P. G. Wodehouse and Agatha Christie, with just a tiny dollop of John Buchan thrown in for good measure. Highly entertaining

A hilarious and old-fashioned whodunit romp in the mold of P. G. Wodehouse and Agatha Christie, with just a tiny dollop of John Buchan thrown in for good measure. Highly entertaining and perfect reading for winter nights, Blotto, Twinks and the Dead Dowager Duchess will keep you sweetly engrossed from start to finish - The New York Journal of Books

Simon Brett has a deft hand with parody, playfulness and punch lines - Read Me Deadly

Simon Brett is one of British crime’s most assured craftsmen, with idiosyncratic characters proving winning creations… A feast of red herrings, broadly drawn characters, and gentle thrills and spills litter the witty plot. Crime writing just like in the good old days, and perfect entertainment - THE GUARDIAN on Simon Brett

A very traditional English mystery, the characters are as entertaining, charismatic and all out fantastic as they were in the first. Mystery readers will want the adventures of Blotto and Twinks to continue for a very long time to come - Feathered Quill Book Reviews on Blotto, Twinks and the Dead Dowager Duchess

Murder most enjoyable… An author who never takes himself that seriously, and for whom any fictional murder can frequently form part of the entertainment industry
