London, 1968: The body of a teenage girl is found just steps away from the Beatles' Abbey Road recording studio.
The police are called to a residential street in St John's Wood where an unidentified young woman has been strangled. Detective Sergeant Cathal Breen believes she may be one of the many Beatles fans who regularly camp outside Abbey Road Studios. With his reputation tarnished by an inexplicable act of cowardice, this is Breen's last chance to prove he's up to the job.
Breen is of the generation for whom reaching adulthood meant turning into one's parents and accepting one's place in the world. But the world around him is changing beyond recognition. Nothing illustrates the shift more than Helen Tozer, a brazen and rambunctious young policewoman assisting him with the case. Together they navigate a world on edge, where conservative tradition gives way to frightening new freedoms - and troubling new crimes.

Critic reviews
It has everything to be a great police procedural. A likable though flawed, and smart detective. Great synergy between the police team. Good contrast between good and sloppy police work. Sharp wit and humor.
In the end i dont think its a waste of time or money. Its very likely to be a 4-5 star listen for most people.
Probably a great one to read! Narration lacking...

I listened to them out of order but it didn't really matter. The books stand alone very well.
William Shaw must have been a kid at the time these books are set (London '68) but he has both an excellent memory and is a brilliant researcher. I lived those years in London as a teen and young adult and he totally nails it. It is all a great reminder of how much things have changed.
If someone isn't already planning on the TV spin-off series then I suggest you run off now and do it!
Atmospheric police procedural.

Overall the story was pretty well done and the atmosphere is not something that's touched upon to much, i.e. London in the 60's-70's. Really enjoyed the characters and the mystery was a pretty good one as well. Looking forward to continuing the series.
