“Burton & Swinburne: The Curious Case of the Clockwork Man” by Mark Hodder
It took a little while, but this book sucked me in. It was the foul-mouthed messenger parakeets that did it.
The rest of this review (including a sample) is at Comfy Chair, where I get paid for it.

Bonnee: I sense a writer who stayed up all night thinking of new insults. Well worth it, imho.
