Sometimes, in the midst of an icy, cold winter, you find yourself looking for a super silly read, to lift your spirits and give you a good laugh. Well look no further! The brain, aka Theopilus Nero Hercule Sherlock Wimsey Father Brown Marlowe Spade Christie Edgar Allen Brain, is annoying, intriguing, and very effective. From the moment his sidekick, the introverted outcast Sheldon McGlone, finds a severed human leg and an enormous salt water crocodile barking like a dog in the Brain's bedroom you know that this is no ordinary mystery. Killer attack whales, thieving kangaroos, and stalking birds add to the zany nature of this beyond ridiculous story, and before you know it you will be laughing like a demented hyena yourself. Plus, the setting, Farrago Bay, Australia, will keep you warm and toasty, with it's crocodiles, surfers, and sunsets. And who doesn't need a little warmth this chilly winter?
