Summary
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’!

More late night chuckles
A great book I'm gonna hear it again and to make up the words I need I've added this so I can get back to the book.

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

Very funny and good stories
Bryant and May stories are always entertaining and I learnt a new piece of rhyming slang.

What joy
Flicking through Audible I noticed the latest collection of Bryant and May stories; what joy. As with all short stories it is a mixed bag but enjoyable nonetheless. I have been with the two gentlemen since the beginning and dread the day when they finally retire. Having collections like this enables the PUC to never finally close. Particularly enjoy Raymond Land’s introduction with his perspective on the cases. Tim Goodman as narrator is as brilliant as ever. If I ever read Bryant and May stories in book form I hear his voice in my head!

Great book, but some author material missing
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.

Fantastic
I am so happy Bryant and May are back. In these difficult times it is great to escape into their world. Christopher Fowler has done the perfect thing ,delving into past cases via Bryant’s memoirs. I enjoyed this immensely. For those who read the Rivers of London books by Ben Aaronovitch wouldn’t it be great if the Folly ran into the PCU , just sayin !
