Murder, Betrayal and a Strange Case for Dennis Fish. Darryl John Hazell

Dennis Fish is a big ungainly idiot but he also perhaps Britain's most popular septuagenarian entertainer. In this, the third book from his infamous trilogy, Dennis once again locks horns with the establishment: this time as he sets out to solve the biggest mystery of the age: the scandalous elopement and subsequent disappearance of Lady Davinia Haskall Delaquoise from Horsecombe Hall and a humble farrier called Henry Skerret. The tryst causes a Regency scandal with the cuckolded husband Lord George Haskall hell bent on revenge. Did the star crossed lovers really perish aboard the sunken schooner Absolution on Easter day 1829? Or is there a far more sinister explanation for the disappearance? Enter Dennis Fish. While researching his own family history Dennis discovers himself to be the great great, great, great nephew of the tragic Henry and when a valuable necklace is found in his own back garden it sets off a violent chain reaction that might involve taboo same sex relations and violent murder. Dennis will not rest until the mystery is solved and woo betide anyone who gets in his way. This has got to be the best murder mystery EVER and far more believable than any of the Midsomer Murders.
