The Man That Got Away: A Constable Twitten Mystery 2 by Lynne Truss
3.0
In the summer in Brighton crime is to the fore. Whilst holidaymakers bask in the sunshine, the Brighton Belles try to lure them to spend money in the attractions and then a young man is found dead in a deckchair. Finding links to a local crime family Constable Twitten is thwarted in his attempts to investigate by his superiors and the police charlady. Twitten knows she is criminal mastermind but no-one believes him.
I found it really hard to engage with this book. Partly because I hadn't read the first instalment and that was really needed, and partly because it is very complicated and quirky. I suspect a second reading would make me change my mind!
