Wildly strange dective story

I feel like there is a certain type of British humor found with certain authors. I came across it with Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Found it again with Douglas Adams. There is the tinge of absurdity to his characters and premise that makes me smile as I read. I loved Dirk's constant war with his secretary and his frustration when he doesn't know something. The Electric Monk was confounding and a little sad. Even a horse had its own distinct personality. A puzzling mystery wrapped in absurd humor works for me every time.

A fun, easy read. Not as silly as Pratchett, or as Clever as Fforde. But the classic understated British snark was turned up to 11. I’d definitely read more

The electric monk hit a little too close to home

GUUUUUH This was class. So many wild weird ass references: 19th century poetry, Scientology, 80s music technology GAHHHH love this shit. Can't believe I haven't read any Douglas Adams before. Has that lovely wry british humour and mixes it with stupidly dense ideas in a really short page count. A few jokes/lines definitely feel out of place though, either that or they haven't aged particularly well and that's kinda what let it down for me.
