Bumbling madcap detective Morris Shannon is stranded without his sidekick Shoddy, on an island off the coast of North Wales, in this classic country house whodunit.
What starts off as an innocent murder mystery game goes terribly wrong, and it is up to Morris to find out who the real murderer is.
Fans of intellectual literature should look away now, or try something more classical. All Penny Detective books contain no messages, big words or complicated plots, but they will, hopefully, while away a couple of hours and entertain. If you are still not convinced; the terrific thing about Amazon is that you can read the first couple of chapters for free. Believe me; these books don't get any better or worse after that.
John Tallon Jones is to literary intellectuals what John Milton (Paradise Lost) was, to having a 'good laugh.' This is disposable fiction at the sharp end, nothing more.
