About this listen
Bryant is convinced that he saw them as they looked over a century before - is elderly detective losing his mind? Then it becomes clear that a number of women have met their ends in London pubs and the likeliest suspect seems to be a mental patient. But knowing who the killer is and catching him are two very different propositions.
As their new team at the Peculiar Crimes Unit goes in search of a madman, the octogenarian detectives ready themselves for the pub crawl of a lifetime, and come face to face with their own mortality...

A clever plot
A bit different to the usual plot and was completely unexpected but actually made sense.

Excellent series
The narrator of these stories is first class. I particularly enjoy the way he changes voices for each character which for me enhances my enjoyment of the book.
I love the stories about Bryant & May. Yes they are unusual & perhaps not for everyone but I have yet to read one I haven't enjoyed.
The story's don't end when the murderer is unveiled. The tale is also as much about the various characters & their lives as about the crimes.
If you don't enjoy a crime story with a bit of a unusual slant then give this a miss but if you do give it a go.

Brilliant!
I love the Bryant and May books, they are full of London's history. The Charactre come to life and I have become really fond of them.
This story follows London Pubs, the plot is always well developed.
Give the series a go, from book 1

Brilliant narration
I love the humour in these otherwise serious and well-crafted stories by Christopher Fowler. Laughed out loud on several occasions

Loving this series!
Every book deepens my love for Bryant and May. Incredibly gothic plots that hang together amidst an education on London, both historical and esoteric, surround the admirably bumbling curmudgeon Arthur Bryant and his opposite and twin John May.
And the star of this volume? Crippen!
If you're a person of a certain age, like me, the empathy you're bound to feel with our heroes will have you coming back for more.

Good overall, but fizzled out at the end
At the start, this used to send me to sleep, not a good start, I think it was the narrator's tone. It was only when he got into character voices it picked up. It was an intriguing mystery, with amusing characters (probably too many, as I did lose track of who was who). However, it did fizzle out right at the end. But I am gong to give one of the other stories a go.
