About this listen

The Peculiar Crimes Unit has solved many extraordinary cases over the years, but some were hushed up and hidden away. Until now.

Arthur Bryant remembers these lost cases as if they were yesterday. Here, then, is the truth about the Covent Garden opera diva and the 17th reindeer, the body that falls from the Tate Gallery, the ordinary London street corner where strange accidents keep occurring, the consul’s son discovered buried in the unit’s basement, the corpse pulled from a swamp of Chinese dinners, a Hallowe’en crime in the Post Office Tower and the impossible death that’s the fault of a forgotten London legend.

Expect misunderstood clues, lost evidence, arguments about Dickens, churches, pubs and disorderly conduct from the investigative officers they laughingly call ‘England’s Finest’!

Interesting stories as usual but the narrator seemed to get lost with the accents so I sometimes lost track of who was speaking

Another great combination of author and narrator for this audio book.

One thing to watch out for, especially if you are a devoted Bryant and May fan (and if you're not, it's best to get into the series with one of the early novels) - the audio version does not include all the extra information from the author that appears in the printed version. There is a fascinating afterword in particular that is missing from the audio.

Great book, but some author material missing

Stories that don't rely on excessive gore and details of man's capabilities to murder instead keep you interested in classic power of deduction and told with the perfect levels of curiosity and comedy !👏
