The Potato Thief - Martin, John

. .

Résumé :
Three old blokes. One tangled family mystery. A trail of chaos from Tasmania to Ireland. Meet Oodles, Wish-Wash, and The Mayor-three bickering octogenarians who set out to uncover their family history... and end up unravelling far more than they bargained for. In the first of three novels, Blokes on a Plane, a DNA test sparks the quest, but when The Mayor vanishes, the other two are forced to turn sleuth before they even reach the airport. In Whitey and the Six Dwarfs, the Windy Mountain Tasmanian Tiger Museum changes hands-and with the original blokes missing, it's up to a bunch of new characters (including Elvis impersonators) to figure out what on earth is going on. Finally, Blokes in Donegal takes the trio all the way to Ireland, where the mystery deepens, identities unravel, and they somehow stumble across a Tasmanian Tiger. Packed with eccentric characters, laugh-out-loud moments, and more twists than a sack of curly fries, The Potato Thief bundle is perfect for readers who like their mysteries quirky and their old blokes slightly unhinged....
