I enjoyed it

The crime is grim, the death of a baby. But it is an intriguing story and I am fond of Bryant and May. I would suggest listening to it at speed 1.2 or 1.3 (thank you Audible for making that possible).

Noisy!

I love this series of books and have read every one now, but I'm just about sick of the same-old-same-old jeapordy of the bloody unit closing down in each book and then getting a last-minute reprieve - boring! I also find the author spends too long re-introducing all the characters and referencing previous novels. But mostly, I've really had enough now of the narrator's loud swallowing! I have a complete phobia about body noises and have to turn the volume down as low as I can to avoid the attendant swallowing and mouth-smacking noises of the reader! Other than that, I love 'em!

Wonderful!

A great detective story featuring 2 of my favourite characters. Excellently narrated. The usual twists and turns that keep you gripped to the very end.

Grand Guignol?

Bryant and May and the team investigate very nasty events surrounding the production of a blood thirsty play. Intricate and stylish.

Triumphant yet again

Another superb story resolved by the quirky PCU and narrated with aplomb by Tim Goodman. A thoroughly recommended read / listen!
