Blotto and Twinks

review 1: This was properly silly, a real send up of 20s detective stories and aristocracy and Bertie Wooster and all of that. And possibly the dimmest character to hit the fictional world - Blotto. Amazing he's made it into a detective duo. It was silly, but it did get a bit tiresome after a while to be honest. And the mystery wasn't particularly amazing. Just a bit ho-hum, what ho gumdrop. I think one book in this series was enough.
review 2: Normally I just love anything by Simon Brett. He's witty, with a nasty side, and the language is always above a 5th grade level. His books are almost always enjoyable to read. But, and this is a BIG but, I am not enamored of his latest attempt. Set in the period between the wars, Blotto and Twinks are upper class, speak entirel... morey in slang, and the attempt to do a "send-up" failed miserably. That being said, I did enjoy the plot line, that is when I could decipher it. less
