pickI really enjoyed this book! It's the second of Crispin's 'Gervase Fen' mysteries that I've read and they've both had me laughing out loud as well as enjoying the intriguing, if rather far-fetched, plots. This is a tale of jealousy and murder in an opera company, with a lot of examination of human absurdity, as well as self-referential asides, brilliant characters, and rather joyful silliness ⭐⭐⭐⭐
pickI hope this golden age mystery qualifies as a cozy, although I can see Gervase Fen shuddering with distaste at the thought. An intriguing mystery with an original twist in the resolution and a thoroughly amusing story from beginning to end. #cozyinthesun no. 4
This is the …fourth? Crispin I've read. Seems like people either love Crispin or hate him, because they're expecting a straight mystery, and that's definitely not what a Gervase Fen book is about. Crispin is to mystery what Doctor Who is to science fiction; if you take them seriously, you'll hate them, because at base, they're farce.
Deuxième position: Le pibble sûr mes genoux, le lab sûr l‘ottoman. Un peu mieux.
