Recenzii
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
[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
Funny, clever, charming, imaginative, nostalgic and gently satirical
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
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
One of those rare books that actually makes you laugh out loud ... Impossible not to read in one sitting
A Shot in the Dark is an intricately plotted murder mystery that's darkly humorous and beautifully written
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
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
Truss's new crime novel is an unqualified masterpiece
Bringing the undoubted comic talents of Lynne Truss to crime fiction should be a marriage made in heaven, and that is exactly what it turns out to be. A Shot in the Dark is sheer, witty delight ... Enchanting
We all know that Truss can work miracles . but I doubt even Constable Twitten could work out how she has produced a whodunit that exudes heartwarming cosiness while boasting Game of Thrones levels of violent death, or given her cast of amusing characters more life than most of the characters I've encountered in fiction this year
Praise for Lynne Truss: 'Truss deserves to be piled high with honours
A wonderful tale full of parodies, pastiches and paradoxes . Pure joy
A novel as entertaining as it is addictive ... The best in humorous writing
A comic chiller in the best tradition of mad British humour
A Shot in the Dark couples suspense with dark hilarity ... The funniest crime novel of 2018
