Dover and the Claret Tappers [Large Print]

by Joyce Porter

Book Overview

One of the century's great innovators in British crime fiction offers more humor with a twist of bitter lemon (Library Journal) in a tale in which Scotland Yard Detective Dover is a victim of kidnappers, who demand not only a stout ransom, but the release of two prisoners--a multiple bigamist and a nymphomaniacal shoplifter.

Great Fun!!

I just love Joyce Porter's mysteries with her overweight, incompetent detective, Chief Wilfred Dover of Scotland Yard. The Boston Globe reviewed this book as "The best fictional detective in a month of Sundays, and Joyce Porter, its creator, the best female mystery writer since Agatha Christie". I totally agree. This is a great series and laugh-out-loud funny.
