Once Upon a Crime by Fergus Craig
5.0
I found this a really, really funny book. It's a type of humour that might not work for everyone, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's the clever, flat, deadpan humour of BBC quiz shows - think Lee Mack on Would I Lie to You - so if that's your thing, you'll enjoy Once Upon a Crime.
It's a spoof, a parody, a laugh... and it works. From page one right to the end. I found myself giggling through it and boring other people by reading out the funniest bits. What more can you ask for in a funny book?
Apart from the humour, it's also well written, well paced and engaging. Honestly, I can't find a thing wrong to say about it.
Now I'm off to find out what else Fergus Craig has written. He's got a new fan...
