Out of this world comedy,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Blind Barber (Dr. Gideon Fell Mystery) (Paperback)
The Blind Barber is a hilarious transatlantic comedy, with a murder mystery slipped in to add contrast. It might not have been as funny without the juxtaposition of seriousness in the form of murder, but there are truly hilarious scenes nonetheless, at the memory of which I still burst out laughing even several years after reading the book. It is, of course, intelligent comedy, with episodes involving such activities as squirting bug spray not only in the captain's eyes, but throughout his entire state room as well. And you'll never forget the story of the horse (if you can read it through the Norwiegian accent), or the captain's elephant. My advice is, buy it. Or better yet, buy two copies (one for home and one for the office).

MURDER CAN BE HILARIOUS,
By X.L. (Noisy le sec, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Blind Barber (Dr. Gideon Fell Mystery) (Paperback)
Carr is well-known for regularly introducing comedy scenes in his novels. Nobody forgot the gun-party in "The Case of the Constant Suicides", for an exemple. But with this completely mad novel, where anybody can happen (and happens), he gives us a good laugh-in and one of his masterpieces. Humor and nonsense harmoniously cohabite with one of his best plots. Carr rules!

A Great comedy of murder !,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Blind Barber (Dr. Gideon Fell Mystery) (Paperback)
This one is surely one of the most entertaining Fell mystery.It is a memorable mix between a hilarous comedy set on a ship and a good whodunit. Here,there is no locked-room,but very funny situations.But be careful,most of the clues are hidden in the comic parts.Only few mysteries mix with such talent humour and mystery.Dont miss this one.
