After You With the Pistol (by Kyril Bonfiglioli)

AFTER YOU WITH THE PISTOL by Kyril Bonfiglioli (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“You couldn’t snuggle under the duvet with anything more disreputable and delightful.” (Stephen Fry)

Charlie Mortdecai—degenerate aristocrat, amoral art dealer, seasoned epicurean, unwilling assassin, and general knave-about-Picadilly—is back in After You with the Pistol, along with his thuggish manservant, Jock, his penchant for too much whiskey, and a beguiling new wife who wants him to kill the Queen.

Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.

NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones®-winning narrator Simon Prebble. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.

“We’re seduced by Charlie’s wit, wordplay and disarming candor…He moves from one malicious witticism…to another…” (Dallas Morning News)

___________________
Kyril Bonfiglioli’s wickedly fun mysteries featuring the Honorable Charlie Mortdecai—degenerate aristocrat, amoral art dealer, seasoned epicurean, unwilling assassin, and general knave-about-Picadilly—have been cult classics in the UK since their first publication there in the 1970s.

Charlie’s back in After You with the Pistol, along with his new bride, Johanna, and his thuggish manservant, Jock. He’s also still drinking too much whiskey—and anything else he can get his hands on—which makes it all the more difficult to figure out what the beautiful and fabulously wealthy Johanna is up to when she tries to convince Charlie to kill the Queen. Suffice it to say that Johanna is not quite what she seems. Dont miss this brilliant mixture of comedy, crime, and suspense.
