"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.

Review “A rare mixture of wit and imaginative unpleasantness” (Julian Barnes)“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.” (Booklist (starred review))“What are the books like? They are darker, stranger and more interesting than any film of them (or at least any film cleared for general release) could be…The novels are extremely funny, first of all. They deal, like Wodehouse, in sentence-by-sentence sparkle, in gestures of grand insouciance.” (Sam Leith - The Guardian)
About the Author Kyril Bonfiglioli (1928 – 1985) was an art dealer, accomplished fencer, a fair shot with most weapons, and a serial marrier of beautiful women. He claimed to be “abstemious in all things except drink, food, tobacco, and talking,” and “loved and respected by all who knew him slightly.”

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Charlie Mortdecai to the rescue! By Misstery Kyril 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.
5 of 7 people found the following review helpful. a dead man's shoes By F. C. Lloyd It can't be easy stepping into a dead man's shoes - and judging Craig Brown is pointless - at least we do have another CVCM novel.Sections of the book are on a par with Something Nasty (especially the interview with the Dominicans) ... others clearly aren't, including, sadly, the ending. This leads me to suggest that this is one for the fans - Bonfiglioli's past glories are enough to keep you going to the end.Perhaps it's as well Mr Brown wasn't able to tie up all the loose ends, thus leaving us with the luxury of being able to use our imaginations to decide what Bonfiglioli had planned for them and Charlie.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Charlie Mortdecai as detective, perhaps worth reading if you've already read the others in the series By Neurasthenic If the Mortdecai stories started as riffs on Jeeves and Wooster, then added in a bit of James Bond, here they mix in some Sherlock Holmes as well. Charlie Mortdecai (and his new moustache) are called upon to investigate the death of an Oxford don, with the help of a local constable inspector named Holmes. The misogyny of the previous book is kept in check here, but the book is less funny than its predecessors. The Oxford jokes will probably play well to one who has studied there but for me, much of this book fell flat.
