THE ABSURD CRIME FICTION PARODY BY FICTIONAL AUTHOR ''MARTIN FISHBACK'' - AS SEEN ON BBC TWO''What''s better than a good crime novel? I''ll tell you - a spoof crime novel, by the absurdly funny and clever Fergus Craig''MIRANDA HART''We all need more laughs like this''AISLING BEAExeter: a city in decline, East Devon''s capital of crime. Detective Roger LeCarre: a man on a quest to rid the world of crime (starting with Devon and Cornwall and then working outwards) so he can concentrate on his watercolours. LeCarre runs 10km a day but probably burns more calories shaking his head at what has become of his city. Now Exeter is set to become the UK Capital of Culture and the ambitious Lord Mayor wants to turn things around. But when a young man''s (dead) body is found in the centre of town, things get murky.Detective Roger LeCarre is a character never seen before in modern fiction - a tough but troubled detective with a drink problem and a marriage in trouble. Can he find out who killed the young man, save the city and change his energy provider before the new more expensive tariff kicks in?Filled with drama, eroticism and very specific Wikipedia-sourced information on Devon, Once Upon A Crime is a thriller that takes itself very seriously and that should not, on any account, actually be taken seriously.

You are cordially invited to die...Former serial killer Carol Quinn is about to get out of prison (again) in time to attend the wedding of two fellow retirees on a remote island off the Suffolk coast. When the bride's horrendous ex-husband is found murdered hours before the ceremony, however, matrimony soon turns into mayhem. Thanks to her ankle monitor Carol is exempt from suspicion, but that is little comfort to the other guests, who now realise that there is more than one murderer in their midst.In an unexpected turn of events, the charmingly hapless (and only police officer on the island) Detective Constable Ryan Fleet insists that the wedding go ahead as planned, if only to keep all the suspects in one place. Inviting a killer to your wedding is a risk - inviting two killers is a death wish. Luckily for Carol, the only thing she's better at than murder is solving one. She'll put this rival in their place, even if it kills her.
