Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
Author: Douglas Adams
Dirk Gently, who was a minor character in one of Adamsâ other works, becomes a private eye in this novel. The character is not the type who checks DNA and looks instead for the way in which seemingly unique things like poets and pizza are interconnected. Hence the name âholistic detective agency.â As expected the events are shown through the eyes of many characters and in such a fashion as to seem disjointed until Gently explains the relationships. There are definitely some science fiction elements in the book, like time travel, but there are also ghosts, which pushes it towards fantasy as well. Definitely a book for those who have read and enjoyed the other books by this author. Why It Made the List This book is labeled a science fiction mystery comedy. Itâs by the same author who wrote The Hitchhikerâs Guide to the Galaxy, which is a fan-favorite in the science fiction genre. Dirk only appeared in two novels, but theyâre both worth finding and reading. Adams was working on a third when he passed away, and itâs not been released. Read It If You Likeoff-beat and quirky character, personality rather than clue based solutions, time travel.
