Book Synopsis

Something Nasty in the Woodshed - the third Charlie Mortdecai novel

''Splendidly enjoyable. The jokes are excellent, but the most horrible things keep happening'' Sunday Telegraph

''Spring was infesting the air in no uncertain fashion and I awoke, for once, with a feeling of well-being and an urge to go for long country walks.''

Charlie Mortdecai - minor aristocrat and art-dealer banished from London for crimes against, well, art - has decamped to the tiny island of Jersey with his wife Johanna and manservant Jock. There, amidst tax dodgers and inbred natives, he had hoped to lie low, and sink lower. But when a friend''s wife is attacked, Charlie is forced to turn sleuth to discover the perpetrator. As further attacks occur, of an increasingly Satanic nature, Charlie finds he is desperate to solve the crimes before things turn truly Hellish . . .

''You couldn''t snuggle under the duvet with anything more disreputable and delightful'
