In 1957 Brighton, a famed theater critic is shot dead just as he was about to reveal the criminal mastermind behind a 1945 mystery, leaving Constable Twitten and Sergeant Jim Brunswick to solve both the decade-old crime and the more recent murder. - McMillan Palgrave
The charming first novel in a new comic crime series from New York Times bestselling author Lynne Truss.
It's 1957, and Inspector Steine rather enjoys his life as a policeman in the seaside British town of Brighton. As far as heâs concerned, the town has no criminals, which means no crime, and no stress.
But much to Steineâs irritation, thereâs a new constable in townâthe keen and clever Constable Twitten, who sees patterns in small, meaningless burglaries and insists on the strange notion that perhaps all the crime has not been cleared out quite as effectively as Steine thinks.
Worse yet, some of Constable Twittenâs ideas could be correct: when renowned theater critic A. S. Crystal arrives in Brighton to tell the detective the secret he knows about the still-unsolved Aldersgate Stick-Up Case of 1945, he's shot dead in his seat.
With a new murder, a new constable, and a new lead on the decades-old mystery, the Brighton Police Force must scramble to solve this delightfully droll mystery in âthe funniest crime novel of 2018â (Wall Street Journal). - McMillan Palgrave
