Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pair of aristocrat siblings must find a killer to clear their chauffeur’s name when a weekend house party goes awry in this historical mystery. Hurrah for the return of that intrepid duo: Blotto (handsome, honorable, not the sharpest knife in the drawer), and his sister Twinks (just a bit brainier than a girl should be)! As this is the 1920s, they are of course attending a weekend house party, where—how astonishing!—a murder is announced. One of the guests has the gall to accuse Corky, the siblings’ family chauffeur, so Blotto and Twinks have no choice but to find the real murderer and clear Corky’s good name. And also, you know, keep Corky from hanging and so on. Their sleuthing will take them to an opium den, a crumbling Scottish castle, and—most thrillingly—the headquarters of the evil League of the Crimson Hand. Second in Brett’s highly praised, outrageously funny new series of parodies of the Golden Age of mystery. “Brett intensifies the satire and the action, delivering readers absolute barrages of wordplay and one-liners, which make this romp reminiscent of theatrical farces like The Importance of Being Earnest or You Can’t Take It with You. . . . As in his other novels, Brett is a devastating social critic . . . and master of devastating physical characterization. This is the kind of book you’ll have to put down, frequently, as you roar with laughter.” —Booklist, starred review
