The Demented Defective: A Humorous Amateur Sleuth Mystery (The Bumbling Brit Abroad Mysteries Book 3) Kindle Edition

by D. R. Lowrey (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 6 ratings
Nigel knew it looked bad, running away like that. But trying to explain himself from the confines of a rubber room wouldn’t look so good either.

And they would never understand. No matter how competently he explained all the odd behaviors, they’d just tilt their little boneheads and say, “What?” There was no time for that. Nigel had to get home before they—they, being any combination of lawmen, psyop warriors, or his wife—found that thing in his garage.

If this seems confusing, welcome to the club. Someone should write a book. To review, just as butler Nigel placates his clients, a UFO sighting, a silly séance, and a pair of frog-seeking bullies appear to rile them back up. And that was just for prelims. When someone dies, things get really weird. Nigel has no choice but to go on the lamb. He’ll need to decode a hot mess of mysteries to clear his name. Easier said than done when you’re seen as a perfect fit for the town’s only straitjacket.

If your idea of a good time involves laughing uncontrollably at a man crumbling from the inside out, then step right up. Reading The Demented Defective—book three of the Bumbling Brit Abroad Mystery series—is a way to scratch that itch without giving yourself away as a sociopath.

The Demented Defective is book #3 in the Bumbling Brit Abroad Mystery Series:
Book #1: Defective for Hire
Book #2: The Butler Defective
Book #3: The Demented Defective
Book #4: The Dancing Defective

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

D. R. Lowrey, a non-award-winning, critically-untainted author of comedic fiction, writes from the humid furnace of Houston, Texas, often while not wearing a shirt.

It wasn’t always like this. For years, D. R. clung tenaciously to a shirt-wearing job that paid real money in exchange for his soul. When that job went kaput, D. R. investigated the possibilities of a career in the hardware retail business, or, alternatively, writing fine literature. Fine literature, as it turns out, is hard to write. Harder even than selling door hinges. Having acquired such wisdom, D. R. took to writing stuff more aligned with his true personality – uncultured, absurd, insubstantial. He now foists these works upon the reading public.

Some refer to his books as a “beach read.” D. R. disagrees. He feels that if you require a beach to read a book, your time is better spent wading amongst the sharks and stingrays. He suggests reading in the comfort of your own living room, preferably on furniture suitable for napping, while siphoning a favorite beverage. Experience shows that after repeated siphonings, his books do indeed start to resemble fine literature … what with the words, punctuation, and all.

D. R. enjoys thoughtful, non-violent interaction with his readers. He views such discourse as an ongoing referendum on whether to write or sell latex paint.

    I have all his books so far and I love them all but I think the second one might be the best.
