{"product_id":"2940148212720","title":"Sherwood Ltd","description":"Snarky, delicious fun! The Camilla Randall mysteries are a laugh-out-loud mashup of romantic comedy, crime fiction, and satire: Dorothy Parker meets Dorothy L. Sayers. Perennially down-and-out socialite Camilla Randall a.k.a \"the Manners Doctor\" is a magnet for murder, mayhem and Mr. Wrong, but she always solves the mystery in her quirky, but oh-so-polite way. Usually with more than a little help from her gay best friend, Plantagenet Smith.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSherwood Ltd. takes aim at the world of small press publishing and all things British. It's a madcap tale of intrigue, romance and murder set near the real Sherwood Forest in the English Midlands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter discovering a dead body near the dumpster where she's been diving for recyclables, down-on-her luck socialite Camilla Randall escapes to England, enticed by the charming Peter Sherwood--a self-styled Robin Hood who offers to publish a book of her etiquette columns at his unorthodox publishing company. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut murder and disaster follow her. She lands in a gritty criminal world--far from the Merrie Old England she envisions. The staff are ex-cons and the books are seriously kinky. Hungry and penniless, Camilla camps in a Wendy House built from pallets of porn while battling an epic flood, a mendacious American Renaissance Faire wench, and the mysterious murderer who may be Peter himself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSherwood Ltd. is the second in this humorous mystery series, but it can be read as a stand-alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Anne Allen is also masterful at keeping the plot twisting and turning; and making sure all those details make sense by the end.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It's a laugh-out-loud funny modern take on the Robin Hood legend, set mainly in Lincolnshire, UK, and I found the local detail to be excellent.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"It's an hilarious lampoon of crime fiction, publishing and the British in general. Anne Allen gets our Brit idioms and absurdities dead to rights.\"","brand":"Anne R.
