Description
Dennis Bisskit and Stinky Blackshaw have completed their service in the British Army, but where to next?
Luckily, Dennis has a cunning plan.
As an avid reader of Sam Spade novels, he realises that while America appears to be teeming with Private Investigators, Dudley is expected to manage without one. Well, not anymore.
It's 1969, and man is about to set foot upon the Moon. Meanwhile, back on Earth, a masterpiece has vanished from the Birmingham Art Gallery and Museum, leaving the police baffled.
This looks like a job for Dudley's finest, Bisskit and Blackshaw Private Investigators.
Yes, the boys are back. Older but no wiser in Dennis Bisskit and the Missing Masterpiece.
Crime has never been so hilarious.
Formally, Dennis Bisskit and the Man from Paris with the Very Large Head, now re-edited and re-published

1969 was more than just a serious year. It was Peter Sellers, Alan Arkin, Gene Wilder, John Cleese, and Mel Brooks. What hilarious fun! It's also the time of Dennis Bisskit and Stinky Blackshaw who are out of the army and trying to make money doing PI work and doing verbal pratfalls instead. Satire or farce you decide, I'm too busy laughing my sox off!
I requested and received a free temporary EARC from BooksGoSocial via NetGalley. Thanks!

Dennis is an accident waiting to happen. Chaos in trousers. Usually. He has an eccentric take on life and as he stumbles his way through, he goes from one disaster to another. At first the reader may think that he is just a bit dense but then the story really winds up and there were some laugh out loud moments of sheer madness that compensated for the slower bits of the book.
Dennis and his best friend Stinky are now PI’s. At least that is what their cards say but they are still waiting for some jobs. Even the ones that they are able to procure are hardly earth shattering and often end badly. So why would they become obsessed with the theft of a Picasso from a local museum. The picture has just disappeared and the police have no idea where to look. This is where Dennis and Stinky prove there may be more to them than meets the eye. Doggedly they pursue the truth. Naturally, there are the expected wrong turns and close calls but ultimately they put the pieces together and not only earn the reward but more clients than they can handle. The sad sack wins the day and the reader has to cheer.
Four purrs and two paws up.
