Rated 4 out of 5 on Goodreads. 1st book in the series. Absolutely hysterical you will laugh out loud !!! Henry Wilt, a pathetic mousy man, has for ten years been trying to teach English literature to his students at the Fenland College of Arts and Technology. He has become bored, frustrated by being constantly bullied by his hefty, obsessive-compulsive wife and begins fantasizing murdering her. So much so that he begins to practice her eventual demise by dumping a life-size, blow up doll, wearing her clothes and a wig down a 30 foot shaft. When his wife disappears, the Chief Inspector suspects the worst.
