Only Bob Mortimer could have written this! Interesting take on the crime genre, with some genuinely funny moments. Falls a little flat in the middle though.

Read this for my MA in creative writing. I found the first half, about her letters to Dick, invasive, creepy and weird. Enjoyed the second part more, especially the essay on schizophrenia. A strange book!
