Part of series which I haven't read, so the characters are new to me. Lots of running around; it felt exhausting to read and too clever by half. There is an admirable villain who may appear in future stories. I think it was supposed to be funny. ( ) This is in the "zany" category of which I am not particularly fond, but nevertheless managed to get through. It has some brief moments of humor that redeem it - especially appreciated is the droll nature of the narrative. Reminds me a bit of the Pink Panther series though the detective in this book is actually pretty smart. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
The gendarmes are baffled and all Paris is agog at the disappearance of a rare Watteau print. Enter master sleuth Homer Evans, whose hilarious approach to crime-solving follows a twisted trail from the darkest recesses of the Louvre to underworld lairs, the studios of shady art dealers, and an insane asylum. Evans and his zany associates - including his sharpshooting girlfriend, Mademoiselle Montana, and his drinking buddy, Gonzo - trace a bizarre series of clues to uncover an ever-thickening plot involving fraud, kidnapping, and murder. Author Elliot Paul satirised the conventions of detective fiction with the first Homer Evans adventure, The Mysterious Mickey Finn. This sequel, hailed as "an excellent cocktail" by The New Republic, offers another furious frolic that upends every convention of the traditional murder mystery. AUTHOR: Elliot Paul (1891-1958) was an American journalist and author. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
