Скачать или смотреть How to Read Michael Innes

British mysteries, aka detective fiction, seem to speak another language. Prosaic people find reading the books of this period confusing. Here is a short primer on how to read such authors as Michael Innes and Edmund Crispin. Do not be put off by elliptical references, Latin or Greek quotations, stereotypes being gently made mild fun of and please enjoy the improbabilities. Both authors will slide a joke in wherever possible. You will be invited to digress or to philosophize...do not let these distract you - just note them down for later, and get on with the story. Well worth investigating later but only after you've gotten to the end of the book.
