The Lazy Detective

By Richmal Crompton and Jacob Abbott

Book Overview

Detective Inspector Harry Labar has a reputation at Scotland Yard-for laziness. Yet behind his carefree demeanor lies a sharp mind perfectly suited for unraveling even the most baffling crimes. Faced with a wave of challenging cases in post-World War I London, Labar's unconventional methods clash with his colleagues' expectations, especially the ambitious officers who see him as a slacker. Navigating the delicate balance between leisure and duty, Labar proves that detective work isn't always about relentless pursuit. Sometimes, it's about working smarter-never harder.
