A Maxim Jakubowski Great Male Crime Sleuth.
Not strictly speaking an invincible male sleuth, Blotto -a nickname for the Right Hon. Devereux Lyminster- is a bit of a nincompoop, whose sleuthing skills are easily outmatched by his brilliant sister Twinks, and also relies heavily on the assistance of his trusty batman and chauffeur Corky Frogett. A series that reminds the readers of P.G.
Wodehouse with a twist of cosy evil, as the amateur sleuths go around solving high society crime and blundering through country houses and mansions like bulls in a china shop. Hilarious and witty.
Ex-Princess Etheline, daughter of the exiled king of Mitteleuropia, has been kidnapped during a visit to Tawcester Towers, ancestral seat of the Dukes of Tawcester, and ducal family honour demands that she should be rescued. The Dowager Duchess entrusts the task to her son, the Right Hon. Devereux Lyminster, known universally as 'Blotto'.
