Not every criminal case has to be deadly serious - and not every murderer has to be a cunning villain. Our selection of funny crime novels and thrillers brings a touch of humour to the otherwise serious genre. With a good dose of self-irony, the perpetrators show themselves from a loving or bizarre side. Close-up everyday situations and hilarious moments with quirky detectives turn every investigation into a well-pointed joke.
Bizarre cases and exaggerated characters play with classic clichés and genre conventions - without the suspense falling by the wayside. Solve curious criminal cases in the Bavarian provinces with Rita Falk's successful Franz Eberhofer series. Or discover the peculiarities of Brittany together with Inspector Dupin. There's something to smile about in every criminal case.
