Learn moreKyril Bonfiglioli’s wickedly fun mysteries featuring the Honorable Charlie Mortdecai—degenerate aristocrat, amoral art dealer, seasoned epicurean, unwilling assassin, and general knave-about-Picadilly—have been cult classics in the UK since their first publication there in the 1970s.
Charlie’s back in After You with the Pistol, along with his new bride, Johanna, and his thuggish manservant, Jock. He’s also still drinking too much whiskey—and anything else he can get his hands on—which makes it all the more difficult to figure out what the beautiful and fabulously wealthy Johanna is up to when she tries to convince Charlie to kill the Queen. Suffice it to say that Johanna is not quite what she seems. Don’t miss this brilliant mixture of comedy, crime, and suspense.
Kyril Bonfiglioli (1928–1985) was an art dealer, accomplished fencer, a fair shot with most weapons, and a serial marrier of beautiful women. He claimed to be “abstemious in all things except drink, food, tobacco, and talking” and “loved and respected by all who knew him slightly.”
Simon Prebble, a British-born performer, is a stage and television actor and veteran narrator of some three hundred audiobooks. As one of AudioFile’s Golden Voices, he has received thirty-seven Earphones Awards and won the prestigious Audie in 2010. He lives in New York.
Reviews
“The sensibility of this wonderful farce with its joyously acrobatic literary style, affronted dignity, and frank assertions of cowardice is part Bertie Wooster and part Henry Flashman—to which has been added a soupcon of something like J. Peterman.”
“Bonfiglioli’s marvelous creation never flags, mixing the best of Ian Fleming’s 007 with P. G. Wodehouse’s Bertie Wooster. Listening to Mortdecai natter on…all while he escapes certain death at every corner, is one of life’s great pleasures.”
