The Simon Bognor Mysteries
Simon Bognor is a special investigator for the British Board of Trade with an affinity for good food and an aversion to hard work. Bognor is anything but the typical tough-as-nails detective; in fact, he has no experience with danger in the field, and his bad attitude and portly frame make him less than effective at a crime scene. Yet the reluctant PI is repeatedly caught up in England’s strangest cases and forced to leave his desk to investigate. A murdered friar, a sabotaged show dog, a gossip columnist dead at his desk, a drowned earl, and a poisoned restaurateur are just a few of the strange victims whose cases come his way. No matter what the circumstances, Simon Bognor can be counted on to muddle his way through.
