A Book Recommendation Question Thingummy

[shadias-hidncok.livejournal.com]

What-ho, my fellow eggs!

Sorry for the off-topicity of this post, but for days I have tried and failed to remember the title/author of a book series that was once mention here on indeedsir. The series in question was a dark humor-ish crime one, with a touch Wodehouse parody (I distinctly remember the original poster using the term anti-Jeeves) and would be absolutely beside myself with joy if anyone could tell me the blasted name once more.

My eternal - or at least very long-term - affections to the one who puts my negligible mind at ease. :)

It wasn't "Wake Up, Sir!" was it? (Probably not, because you're talking about a series and this was just one book)

No, it wasn't, but now that I read about this one I definitely want to read it! So thanks for the recommendation! :D

Actually, I can't speak for it because I haven't read it yet (I do own it, though).

Could it have been Lord Peter Whimsey? Because Dorothy Sayers does occasionally make references to Wodehouse - in Murder Must Advertise, Lord Peter goes undercover and is described as Bertie-like by another character.

Perhaps those are the Charlie Mortdecai books by K.Bonfiglioli.

That's the very thing! Thank you, dear crumpet!

No, but I've been wanting to get my hands on those as well. Well worth the read, what?

Ah, so often the case. Too many books, too little time, even when said books can be found on one's own shelf. I had a couple of books waiting for... 4 to 5 years until I finally finished them. Very unsporting of me. :)

Oh, absolutely.
