'What's better than a good crime novel? I'll tell you - a spoof crime novel, by the absurdly funny and clever Fergus Craig'

'We all need more laughs like this'
AISLING BEA
Detective Roger LeCarre. Scourge of crime. Guardian of Exeter. Amateur squash player. And now, party guest at Powderham, the manor house owned by mysterious billionaire tech genius Eli Quartz.
It is a small and unconventional gathering: the Bishop, a fading radio star, a desperate aristocrat, the aging butler and his absurdly beautiful daughter - and Detective Roger LeCarre. Then a snowstorm blows in and the group realise they are trapped.
And when, completely against expectations for this kind of situation, someone winds up dead, it's obvious who must solve the crime. Obvious, but for the fact the murder weapon was in Detective Roger LeCarre's hand, and the body was at his feet...
From the creator of BBC2's Martin Fishback comes the second Detective Roger LeCarre crime fiction parody, daring to go where so many other crime novels have gone before.
Fergus is a multi-award-winning actor, comedian and writer for television. In 2022, his character Martin Fishback, fictional creator of Roger LeCarre, appeared in his own BBC2 short. Fergus is the author of parody book Tips For Actors and Once Upon a Crime, the first Roger LeCarre novel.

Reviews
I laughed out loud at the very first line. And it just got funnier from there. Like Les Dawson playing the piano, Fergus Craig is a master of brilliantly hilarious terrible writing. Detective Roger LeCarre is lovable, funny and absurd. This book is Wodehousian in spirit and style. You laugh out loud, and you wonder how it is that in a staged country-house setting, where murder is done, you can still care. And then you realise that you've enjoyed it. A fictional romp to savour.
