Road Kill: The Duchess Of Frisian Tun (DaDa Detective Agency Book 1) Pete Adams- Humorous crime/mystery
This is a fun read from the beginning and written as someone would speak with all the nuances that it gives. Written slightly tongue in cheek and with a wry sense of humour this tell of an investigation (of sorts) by the DADA - a detective agency and characters with names such as Lord Everard Pimple and Cecelia Crumpet, all set in and around Portsmouth/Southsea area in Hampshire which is where the street of Frisian Tun is set.
There is a talent in writing such as this - its high energy and prepare to take a breath as you dive in. Your head may spin as you get used to the writing and pace and eccentric characters. Adult comedy, a mystery and umpteen other things thrown in (with explanations of any slang etc- there is a narrator along the way). A read that is unlike no other- almost experimental and daring in very much a fun way and one you can't help but smile at or even gaffaw! A lighthearted mystery to lift the mood.
