About this listen

The Vinyl Detective goes punk in his fifth hilarious adventure.

Semi-retired god of rock guitar and local poseur Erik Make Loud has got himself a new girlfriend. Helene Hilditch - formerly known as Howlin' Hellbitch - of all-girl punk outfit Blue Tits is a mean guitarist, and someone is trying to kill her. With a rare pressing of their first album to find, the Vinyl Detecive and Nevada are soon called into to help, but this time the question is, who isn't a suspect?

With a trail of grudges behind her, the list of people who could want Helene dead includes her ex-bandmates, their former producer turned record label mogul, the TV presenter who Helene got fired - even their old roadie could be in on it.

Critic reviews

“Hilarious and thrilling.” (Ben Aaronovitch)
All stars

As the series gets more established it just gets more fun.
The sonic screwdriver mention was a nice touch for someone who started listening to this due to Andrew’s past work on a certain TV show and a fondness for his ‘Masterplan’

Sneaky Easter egg

Another Vinyl Detective story I very much enjoyed. Especially meeting g Nevada’s mum & gerri g a bigger back story about why Nevada is like she is! Never guessed the villain of the piece, however the journey is as much fun as the result - good new characters and a small return of Opal from a few books ago .. which pleased Tinkler! Overall very enjoyable.

Another fun intriguing story.

This series goes from strength to strength, great characters I am sure everyone will be able to relate to. Well researched and very funny. Really suggest you give the series a try.

Another witty story about the vinyl detective and his gang. Even though this is the 5 th book, I have now read them all, not in order but pretty much in order. I am really invested in all his books. Please keep writing Andrew.

Clever, funny

I have enjoyed all of the Vinyl Detective stories. I collect stuff and like wine and cats. It was inevitable. This latest story is no exception, with some good new characters and the return some old favourites. The level of detail of the nerdy technical stuff that I am interested in, from the audio equipment to the quirks of kind-of-red(/blue) makes me happy. The delivery by Finlay Robertson is great and brings the characters to life.

Great series of stories

I do really like the combination of story and performance, even the tangents fit togetter

brilliant

Combining vinyl mania with historic 'rock', this is well written, suitably believable (in parts anyway) and a satisfying ending.

An excellent addition to the series

The problem with narrow themes like the Vinyl Detective is that they can struggle to weave in the element defining the series. Not so here. The story flows naturally, is entertaing, funny and the regular characters are like old friends. If this were the dead tree version, rather than the audio one, you would describe this as a real page turner.

Consistent entertainment
