Once Upon a Crime: The hilarious, ridiculous first Detective Roger LeCarre parody 'thriller' | Fergus Craig

2 posts | 1 read | 1 reading

'What's better than a good crime novel? I'll tell you - a spoof crime novel, by the absurdly funny and clever Fergus Craig' MIRANDA HART 'We all need more laughs like this' AISLING BEA Inspired by the smash hit Twitter videos, Once Upon a Crime is a hilarious, ridiculous, gripping comic crime novel to make every reader's life better. Exeter: a city in decline, East Devon's capital of crime. Detective Roger LeCarre: a man on a quest to rid the world of crime (starting with Devon and Cornwall and then working outwards) so he can concentrate on his watercolours. LeCarre runs 10km a day but probably burns more calories shaking his head at what has become of his city. Now Exeter is set to become the UK Capital of Culture and the ambitious Lord Mayor wants to turn things around. But when a young man's (dead) body is found in the centre of town, things get murky. Detective Roger LeCarre is a character never seen before in modern fiction - a tough but troubled detective with a drink problem and a marriage in trouble. Can he find out who killed the young man, save the city and change his energy provider before the new more expensive tariff kicks in? Filled with drama, eroticism and very specific Wikipedia-sourced information on Devon, Once Upon A Crime is a thriller which demands to be read.

so-so

Not really sure what I read except for the descriptive process of unnecessary items … yes your driving a car and you have a cell phone but do we need make,model, or interior/ exterior description that last a few pages or a page … some of the book was good … maybe because I‘m not used to the writing style I may give it another try at a later date or just let it go sad I really wanted to like it

Received my book outlet box so excited to start reading these great finds all under $5.00 📚😊… of course this makes my tbr ridiculous… like it wasn‘t before these 🤣🤣🤣📚📚📚📚📚📚

DogMomIrene For under $5, the TBR can expand! It‘s totally how I rationalize buying ebooks on sale, and library sales, and other used books. 😂📚 2w

Ddzmini @DogMomIrene exactly at least that‘s what I say when I talk to the hubby 🤣 2w
