Too Clever By Half

by Edgar Harrison



Synopsis

Scheming villains, wisecracking sleuths and supernatural horrors await you in this disturbingly amusing and amusingly disturbing spoof of classic British detective stories. Join us and learn of the terrible Cardington Curse, the mysterious Boudoir of Death, and more besides.

Witty, farcical and just a little risqué, Too Clever by Half will have you laughing all the way home and then checking under the bed, just in case.

You’ll never look at a teapot in the same way again…

(With apologies to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Christopher Nolan, Conor McPherson and H. P. Lovecraft)
