The witty and action-packed
Psycho by the Sea carries readers along in surprising fits and starts, like a bumper-car ride. Elaborate schemes go awry, architectural follies self-destruct and the intelligence of several characters increases ever so slightly. This is a book in which there is candor (if not honor) among thieves. -

The fourth in Truss's Constable Twitten series is a knickerbocker glorious romp, an effortless blend of merriment, mischief and the macabre, rich in nostalgia for the days of donkey rides and Punch and Judy shows.
