Críticas:
A farce that gathers hilarious pace with every page . More Marx Brothers than Agatha Christie, this is crime fiction turned on its head - a giddy spell of sheer delight (Daily Mail)
[An] entertaining new crime series . Truss's affection for a rollicking, twisty caper has transferred to the page with ease . There's some fine storytelling on display here (Observer)
Funny, clever, charming, imaginative, nostalgic and gently satirical (The Times)
With plenty of brightly coloured bucket-and-spadery, including ghost trains and Punch and Judy and variety acts, this clever, tongue-in-cheek escapade is a perfect summer read (Crime Books of the Month Guardian)
Pitch-perfect send-up of 1950s Brighton with nods to Graham Greene ... The ingenious plot involves such period attractions as the Ghost Train, theatrical landladies, Pathé News and cherry Genoa cake. Hilarious (Sunday Times Crime Club)
One of those rare books that actually makes you laugh out loud ... Impossible not to read in one sitting (Sunday Times)
A Shot in the Dark is an intricately plotted murder mystery that's darkly humorous and beautifully written (Herald)
It takes a writer of Lynne Truss's wit and intelligence ... to take on both the cosy and comic fields, shaking them up to forge something fresh and beguiling ... Delightfully witty (Barry Forshaw i)
This book is as much a comedy as a crime novel. Lynne Truss is a national treasure, and this is a gentle, complicated, humorous tale (Literary Review)
Truss's new crime novel is an unqualified masterpiece (Glasgow Herald)

WINNER OF THE CRIMEFEST LAST LAUGH AWARD 2019
The charming first novel in a new comic crime series, from one of Britain's most-loved writers, the incomparable Lynne Truss
'More Marx Brothers than Agatha Christie, this is crime fiction turned on its head - a giddy spell of sheer delight' Daily Mail
Brighton, 1957. Inspector Steine rather enjoys his life as a policeman by the sea. No criminals, no crime, no stress.
So it's really rather annoying when an ambitious - not to mention irritating - new constable shows up to work and starts investigating a series of burglaries. And it's even more annoying when, after Constable Twitten is despatched to the theatre for the night, he sits next to a vicious theatre critic who is promptly shot dead part way through the opening night of a new play.
It seems Brighton may be in need of a police force after all.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The first book in a charming and witty new crime series from much-loved author Lynne TrussAfter the notorious Middle Street Massacre of 1951, when the majority of Brightons criminals wiped one another out in a vicious battle as the local police force enjoyed a brief stop en route for an ice cream, Inspector Steine rather enjoys life as a policeman. No criminals, no crime, no stress. He just wishes Sergeant Brunswick would stop insisting that perhaps not every criminal was wiped out that fateful day.So its really rather annoying when an ambitious not to mention irritating new constable shows up to work and starts investigating a series of burglaries. And its even more annoying when, after Constable Twitten is despatched to the theatre for the night, he sits next to a vicious theatre critic who is promptly shot dead part way through the opening night of a new play.It seems Brighton may be in need of a police force after all Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
