"The Vesuvius Club", Mark Gatiss
"A bit of fluff"
The Vesuvius Club, by Mark Gatiss of the League of Gentleman, and Doctor Who scripting fame, is a romp through Edwardian London and Naples featuring the incorrigible Lucifer Box, portraint painter and secret agent. He needs to find a veiled lady, find a new valet, find a brace of disappearing diplomats, find out who's trying to kill hiim, and find out how to charm the lovely Bella Pok out of her petticoats. Not necessarily in that order.
I can highly recommend this book, I read it in a couple of days and it's just fantastic. It looks like it could be the start of a series and I really hope it is.
