A Shot in The Dark by Lynne Truss

WINNER OF THE CRIMEFEST LAST LAUGH AWARD 2019

This is the first novel in a comic crime series (Constable Twitten Mysteries) from Lynne Truss. Described as ‘More Marx Brothers than Agatha Christie, this is crime fiction turned on its head’

The Plot

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…
