Do you see where I've been hiding in this hide-and-seek?

A bit late in the game, though! XD
I don't think I have ever read anything by Michael Innes, although my mother might have had some of his books in the house when I was growing up. I see why you class him and Carr and Crispin on the strength of the metafiction alone.
I unfortunately have not been able to read enough Michael Innes to determine what a normal Michael Innes book looks like and whether or not I just happened to read the two outliers that shouldn't have been counted, although it is possible. (I've read about 4 or 5 and 2-3 of them were light but relatively normal or more comedic, but the others were Death at the President's Lodging (straight up classical Golden Age murder) and The Daffodil Affair (which started out with a horse and a house getting stolen and by the end we were in South America bemoaning being in a rubbish detective book by Michael Innes), but he goes in that box for the humour and randomness all right. (Idk if I recommend The Daffodil Affair as such, but it was pleasingly bonkers. The President's Lodging was great, and I do.)
I've read 3 Gervase Fens so far, and I do like Love Lies Bleeding, but am less sure about the others, but, again, certainly on the scale there.
It's a John Dickson Carr novel! Why not?
LOL, true.
Should I ever watch this show, I will keep an eye out for him. I don't suppose you have giffed any of it?
Eps 1-4 are all on disc 1, and I'm not yet at the end of ep4 (it's 6 eps), so I can't gif and watch it. I'm being a bit rubbish at giffing lately. I did manage a couple of Jeremy Northam in Poirot a couple of weeks ago, but I lack motivation!
