Charlie Mortdecai to the rescue!By MissteryKyril Bonfiglioli is a master writer of tongue-in-cheek and black mysteries. His prose is smooth as silk and you don't realize you're being taken for a ride until you look back and smile. It's an easy to read book and probably would take one sitting undisturbed to take in the 174 pages. The story itself isn't a 'great' mystery but the wordsmithing is awesome.How the film is going to look on screen is going to be interesting. With Johnny Depp playing the main character should make the movie something to enjoy.If you are tempted to read it, get it now because availability will be short-lived to the average reader. The hardbacks are difficult to find and rather pricey.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. There's no better way to make you feel better about your own ...By T. PierceThere's no better way to make you feel better about your own character while simultaneously enjoying a good laugh and entertaining mystery than reading a Mortdecai book. While wallowing in self-absorbtion, one-sided relationships with spouse and man-servant, and a marked lack of courage, Mortdecai somehow manages to be hard to resist by his fellow characters and readers alike. It's a shame Kyril Bonfigioli didn't write more of these - they run out all too soon.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent, funny, entertaining, reminisent of Wodehouse and Rumpol!By MichaelExcellent, funny, entertaining, reminisent of Wodehouse and Rumpol! "You couldn't snuggle under the duvet with anything more disreputable and delightful" ?Stephen Fry'She was a Fellow and Tutor of Scone College and the world must learn that Fellows and Tutors of Scone College shall not be done to death with impunity.'The Hon. Charlie Mortdecai, the inspiration for the character in the film Mortdecai, starring Johnny Depp, is invited to Oxford to investigate the cruel and most definitely unusual death of a don who collided with an omnibus. Though her death appears accidental, one or two things don't add up - such as two pairs of thugs who'd been following her just before her death. With more spies than you could shoe horn into a stretch limo and the solving of the odd murder along the way, The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery is a criminally comic delight. ldquo;A rare mixture of wit and imaginative unpleasantnessrdquo; - Julian Barnesldquo;Wonderfully offbeat...The often hilarious narrative voice owes something to P.G. Wodehouse (Mortdecai and his thug, Jock, are a through-the- looking-glass Wooster and Jeeves), but Bonfiglioli pays the debt by layering his homage with a loony blend of classical references, groan-worthy asides, and a playful dismantling of Golden Age detective novels.rdquo; - Booklist (starred review)ldquo;What are the books like?nbsp;They are darker, stranger and more interesting than any film of them (or at least any film cleared for general release) could behellip;The novels are extremely funny, first of all. They deal, like Wodehouse, in sentence-by-sentence sparkle, in gestures of grand insouciance.rdquo; - Sam Leith, The GuardianAbout the AuthorKyril Bonfiglioli (1928 ndash; 1985) was an art dealer, accomplished fencer, a fair shot with most weapons, and a serial marrier of beautiful women. He claimed to be ldquo;abstemious in all things except drink, food, tobacco, and talking,rdquo; and ldquo;loved and respected by all who knew him slightly.rdquo; [JcOpW.ebook] The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery: The Fourth Charlie Mortdecai Novel By Kyril Bonfiglioli PDF [JcOpW.ebook] The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery: The Fourth Charlie Mortdecai Novel By Kyril Bonfiglioli Epub [JcOpW.ebook] The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery: The Fourth Charlie Mortdecai Novel By Kyril Bonfiglioli Ebook [JcOpW.ebook] The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery: The Fourth Charlie Mortdecai Novel By Kyril Bonfiglioli Rar [JcOpW.ebook] The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery: The Fourth Charlie Mortdecai Novel By Kyril Bonfiglioli Zip [JcOpW.ebook] The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery: The Fourth Charlie Mortdecai Novel By Kyril Bonfiglioli Read Online.
