About this listen

 The odd couple of detection, the brilliant but cranky Arthur Bryant and John May of London's Peculiar Crimes Unit, return in a tense, atmospheric new thriller that keeps you guessing right to the end. This time the detectives are up against a series of bizarre murders that defy human understanding, and a killer no human hand may be able to stop. A mysterious stranger in outlandish Edwardian garb defaces a painting in the National Gallery. Then a guest at the exclusive Savoy Hotel is fatally bitten by what appears to be a marshland snake. An outbreak of increasingly bizarre crimes has hit London, and, fittingly, come to the attention of the Peculiar Crimes Unit.©2005 Christopher Fowler, Defiant Films (P)2006 W. F. Howes Ltd.

Well, I'm in the midst of this one & really loving it. It's quite witty & I find the mystery compelling. The characters are engaging & the reader does an excellent job of shifitng his accent and intonation for each one. One of my favorite books from audible so far.

a grand read

Wonderful reader, and Bryant & May are always a pleasure - and never disappoint. I love their quirks and how Fowler knows not to make them too predictable, and the stories hold together so well. What a treat, always.

The frame for this novel is a current day Bryant telling the story of a famous case from the team's past. It fits oddly in the continuing Bryant & May narrative but is a wonderful story.

All the titles I purchase from Audible are meant for listening while commuting to work morning and evening. Thus, I recently purchased the title “77 Clocks” even though it was unrated, because the publisher’s blurb caught my interest and I decided to order it anyway. However, I must say I was quite disappointed, and had to force myself to continue listening, as I had no other titles available at that time. While some of the characters descriptions were ok, the supposed reasons for the happenings in the book were not very credible from my point of view. Perhaps this title should be placed under Sci Fi & Fantasy rather than Mystery and Thriller!
