Detectives - the dominant characters of the 20th Century Discuss

woops

is not like other people
Hugh K says TS Eliot!! wrote some detective novels under a pen-name but it seems safe to assume they were deductive rather than 2-fisted

Steve Bruce, the football manager, has written some crime novels.

“Who did it?”

Steve Bruce - “the Jews!”

this kicked round from my Mum‘s circle but I don’t have the time and it has to be shit

'Unquestionably one of the worst written books I’ve ever set eyeballs on. Cringey, forced “colloquial” dialogue made it unbearable. Imagine if Danny Dyer wrote a book over a weekend coked up. It’d be better than this.'

I was reading a book called "Judas Pig" by "Horace Silver" ( not the jazz guy ) which is pure Dyer - it's lying unfinished in a pile

has anyone (except me) read the Nero Wolf novels? I've read all of them. he's grotesquely fat. so fat he can't move so he has a handsome boy genius with a photographic memory to do all the leg work. so it's like splitting a detective into two, one gets into fights, gets entangled with various femme fatales, the other one solves the case by using mental genius, fingers to temples, eyes closed, cheeks puffed out.... im a big fan

I just did a search and it looks like an erotic werewolf series featuring "knot scenes"

Is this what you were talking about?
