«Le linguiste était presque parfait» is the mystery and humour novel by David Carkeet, published in French by Monsieur Toussaint Louverture in paperback.
At the Wabash Institute, linguists study the babbling of babies. The most normal of the theorists faces the murder of a colleague in his own office. With linguistics as a tool and plenty of absurd humour, the novel ironises academic research, children and the clichés of the detective genre.
First instalment of the 'Jeremy Cook' series. Originally published in 1980 under the title 'Double Negative'; French translation by Nicolas Richard.
For readers of mystery novels who appreciate absurd humour and wordplay.
