About the Book



Joyce Porter is the funniest crime writer you've never heard of-until now.



Book Synopsis



Joyce Porter is the funniest crime writer you've never heard of- until now. Creator of DCI Wilfrid Dover, Scotland Yard's laziest and rudest detective, Eddie Brown, a schoolteacher forced into Cold War spycraft against his will, and Constance Ethel Morrison-Burke ("The Hon Con"), a boisterous noblewoman turned private eye. Porter filled her mysteries with outrageous situations, sparkling dialogue, and over-the-top humor. This tribute to her works is for mystery lovers who enjoy laughing while they piece together clues.
