Add a CommentI'm a fan of Stephen Fry and this book is a good representative of his dry British wit. We follow our protagonist, an alcoholic, once famous, poet and rake as he becomes a detective in an estate worthy of Brideshead. The quirky characters sparkle with varying degrees of depravity and innocence.
I love you, Stephen /
but this is an unpleasant /
cocktail to swallow
