Addle
Digby Durrant
Paperback
(Peter Owen, Aug. 1, 1980)
Digby Durant's savage satire on living in the country begins with Percival Moat nearly eating his missing brother's finger, which has mysteriously found its way into a home-baked steak-and-kidney pie. Addle is that kind of place. This is the starting point for an incompetent and hilarious police investigation by the local force. Completely original, macabre, funny and serious at the same time, Durrant's Addle is a delight.
