Blotto, Twinks and the Ex-king's Daughter
Ex-Princess Ethelinde, daughter of the King of Mitteleuropia, has been kidnapped during a visit to Tawcester Towers. Ducal family honour demands that she should be rescued, so the Dowager Duchess entrusts the task to her son, the Right Hon. Devereux Lyminster - known universally as 'Blotto'.

About the Author:
Simon Brett worked as a producer in radio and television before taking up writing full-time. He is the author of the much-loved Fethering mysteries, Charles Paris series and the Mrs Pargeter novels. In 2014 he was awarded the Crime Writers' Association's prestigious Diamond Dagger for sustained excellence and contribution to crime writing, and in 2016 was awarded an OBE for his services to literature. He lives in an Agatha Christie-style village in the South Downs.
From AudioFile:
Simon Brett's droll delivery makes it clear that the dead body in the library is only a bother--except to two aristocratic siblings: Twinks, who loves solving mysteries, and Blotto, who prefers cricket and hunting but who will be nudged into heroism by his sense of family honor. Brett's blend of Agatha Christie and P.G. Wodehouse is taken to extremes with oddball descriptions and asides, which he himself reads with an appropriate blend of gusto and upper-crust hauteur. There's a plot in here somewhere, and listeners may even find themselves on the edges of their seats. But Brett's detective riffs and narration are aimed squarely at fans of comedy in the Wodehouse vein. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
