Amateur sleuth books with wordplay

How we choose booksFinding your way around this shelf
Look for whether the language games belong to the sleuth, other speakers or the narrator. Puns and a more elaborate comic voice offer different company. The profiles describe the verbal approach and the situation that gives an unofficial investigator reasons to listen.
Humor is personal. Our labels describe supported traits, not a promise that every reader will find the same things funny. How we classify books.
