Thanks for the recommendation.

I think you're right, Harry.
His earlier works (which I own as ARCs and in First Edition Hardback) are hilarious reads, but I think they resonate most with Americans. He can be compared (in my opinion) to Mark Twain and William Faulkner - Twain in the humor and Faulkner in a bit of his style.
His mysteries are completely different in style from his earlier, literary works, especially in their accessibility.
