After You with the Pistol

Audiobook

Kyril Bonfiglioli's wickedly fun mysteries featuring the Honorable Charlie Mortdecai—degenerate aristocrat, amoral art dealer, seasoned epicurean, unwilling assassin, and general knave-about-Picadilly—have been cult classics in the UK since their first publication there in the 1970s.

Charlie's back in After You with the Pistol, along with his new bride, Johanna, and his thuggish manservant, Jock. He's also still drinking too much whiskey—and anything else he can get his hands on—which makes it all the more difficult to figure out what the beautiful and fabulously wealthy Johanna is up to when she tries to convince Charlie to kill the Queen. Suffice it to say that Johanna is not quite what she seems. Don't miss this brilliant mixture of comedy, crime, and suspense.

      Simon Prebble's Charlie Mordecai ("I have always sneered in a well-bred way") exudes British upper-class decadence as the amoral aristocratic art dealer is drawn by forces beyond his control (including lust and a deal with the authorities) into marriage and an international smuggling ring The dapper Mordecai succumbs to Prebble's husky-voiced Johanna at every turn--dabbling in regicide, an almost all-female combat training college, and a drug-delivery journey to Chicago that lands him in the nick. The lugubrious Jock, manservant-thug with an intellect "second to almost anyone," is a delight, especially as he rescues Mordecai from a pet food factory and other travails. Hilarious, bawdy fare.
