If you enjoyed poking fun at genres with Femme Fatale, and if you like smart parody, give Nonsense Novels by Stephen Leacock a spin. It’s one of my favourite humour collections of all time. Leacock is perhaps not very well known outside his native land, but he is a grandfather of parody, among the best of them. Nonsense Novels was first published in 1911, and takes on several literary tropes, the first - as you see here - is the Great Detective. The link is to a nice pdf of the whole book.
