The Man in the Brown Suit

This book is hilarious! I am actually not sure if this is primarily detective fiction or a comedy. Maybe it is meant to be both. It definitely reminded me of a telenovela where the most absurd things always happen and every bit of mystery is carefully explained in the end, which I quite enjoy. I have decided that Sir Eustace Pedler is my favourite character. He is so charming and funny, and always has the best remarks. Although some of them are quite inappropriate and maybe it would be best if he kept those to himself, lest he end up in an article of The New York Times involved in the #MeToo movement.

  Now that I think about it, there are several remarks or descriptions that are either sexist, racist, or otherwise inappropriate. The book is amazing and kept me constantly laughing but I do wonder whether it could have benefitted from more strict editing.

  Also, the prologue is written in such a different style from the rest of the novel. Almost as if the prologue was actual detective fiction. It makes me really want to read something that is as well written.

  All in all, I highly recommend this book. You are bound to have a fun time reading it.
