Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

The greatest detective of all time has returned*! 
 
Meet an older, wiser and slightly more irritable Sherlock Holmes in a hilarious series of brand new mysteries as he pits his famously considerable wits against assassins, master-thieves, website cookie settings and an air fryer of truly cosmic power . . . 
 
 
*(again)

In The New Adventures of Old Sherlock, a brand-new series, it’s Christmas at Baker Street, and Holmes is obsessed his most fiendish of unsolved cases: someone is murdering Santas across London! 
'Highly amusing. Vincent revives the great detective, putting Victorian values on a collision course with modern mores' Lucien Young, author of Alice in Brexitland _____________________ 
 
As Holmes and Watson struggle through the Christmas-shopping crowds, they must catch this most dastardly and un-Christmassy of villains, while sneakily trying to purchase each other’s Christmas presents (they are in the world’s least-secret Secret Santa, after all). 
 
Meanwhile, with the museums of London refusing to return cultural artefacts to their countries of origin, someone is taking matters into their own hands, and stealing back what was stolen. 
 
Are the cases connected, and could an ancient air fryer of demonic power hold the key to the mystery of the murdered Santas? And more importantly, can you prepare a whole Christmas dinner in an air fryer*? 
 
*Whether you can or not, Dr Watson’s going to give it a jolly good try. Ho Ho Holmes!_____________________ 
 
'This is a clever as parody gets. How Bruno Vincent has managed to maintain a Holmesian atmosphere with a machine gun gag rate is a mystery in itself. Wonderful stuff’ Ian Moore, bestselling author of Death and Croissants

Bruno Vincent is the author of an absolute shedload of humour titles including the Enid Blyton for Grown-ups Series and (with Jon Butler) the bestselling Do Ants Have Arseholes?, a Christmas No.1 back in the more innocent days of Myspace and News of the World. He has also written two volumes of gothic horror stories for children which were adapted for the stage.
