Don't Point That Thing at Me : The First Charlie Mortdecai Novel - Thryft

Hilarious art-heist novel for espionage fans.

Don't Point That Thing at Me is a witty and entertaining read that combines the elegance of an aristocrat with the dangerous world of espionage. The novel presents a unique mixture of Ian Fleming and P.G. Wodehouse, which will appeal to readers who love a blend of humor with a touch of suspense. The book's most distinctive quality is its protagonist, Charlie Mortdecai, who is not your typical hero but a thuggish art dealer who finds himself in compromising positions that are both funny and chilling. With memorable characters and a clever plot, Don't Point That Thing at Me is perfect for readers who love art-heists, spy thrillers, and dark comedies.
