Publisher's summary

Gower Street, London, 1882: Sidney Grice, London's most famous personal detective, is expecting a visitor. He drains his fifth pot of morning tea, and glances outside, where a young, plain woman picks her way between the piles of horse-dung towards his front door. Sidney Grice shudders. For heaven's sake - she is wearing brown shoes. The Mangle Street Murders is for those who like their crime original, atmospheric, and very, very funny.

Critic reviews

"One of the most delightful and original new novels of the year, this is the first in a series that could well become a cult. Grice and Middleton promise to become a positive treat. Catch them now." ( Daily Mail)

Easy listening detective story

I enjoyed the book. I made for an easy listening. The only points which were a bit annoying was the constant effort put into by both male and female characters to remind us that back then men thought they were clever and women hopeless. Although true in effect I doubt men would spend so much time making the point and women taking every opportunity to set them right. This "modern"day attitude towards women's rights kind of killed the atmosphere at times
