About the Book

Berkeley Cockering wants to live the hedonistic life of a millionaire playboy. But his sister, Marcheline, is only interested in preserving the family name and refuses to sell off any of their large jointly-owned estate. He therefore embarks upon a drastic course of action to force her to sell, which will involve the owner of a cash-strapped geriatric circus, an alcoholic clown, an incontinent elephant and a sex toy with a mind of its own. Stevyn Colgan’s third – and funniest – South Herewardshire novel continues the series that began with A Murder To Die For and The Diabolical Club.

About the Author :
Stevyn Colgan is the author of nine books, a former police officer and oddly spelled Cornishman. And, for more than a decade, he was one of the ‘elves’ that research and write the multi award-winning TV series QI and he was part of the writing team that won the Rose D’Or for BBC Radio 4’s The Museum of Curiosity. He is a popular speaker at UK and international events such as TED, QEDcon, the Ig Nobel Prizes, Latitude, the Hay Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe and many more. He has appeared on numerous podcasts and radio shows including Freakonomics, Saturday Live, Do The Right Thing, Ex Libris, No Such Thing As A Fish, Eat Sleep Work Repeat and Josie Long’s Short Cuts. He is the co-host of the We’d Like A Word podcast and his first novel, A Murder to Die for was nominated for two awards.

Review :
‘Stevyn Colgan bestrides the territory of English rural comedy, one foot on the throat of Joanna Trollope, the other knocking the bonnet of Miss Marple off her silver head. Divine black village comedy’ Stephen Fry ‘Only the British can mix humour and homicide so charmingly' Sandi Toksvig ‘Delightful witty fun. It’s a literary cream tea with a glass of fizz’ Neil Dudgeon 'My perfect book. Funny, complex, compelling, odd. The sort of book I love to read and wish I could write' Alex Horne 'A quirky, darkly comic and quintessentially English farce full of laugh-out-loud moments, with more than a flavour of Tom Sharpe. Colgan’s best yet!' Mary Jayne Baker 'A perfect English bubble universe, written with love and fizz. A blend of devious deeds and gleeful Ronnie Barkerish monocle-popping, as busy and funny as a Giles cartoon' Joel Morris
