About this listen
There’s no such thing as a coincidence in York....
As Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year approach, the ancient city of York is busier than ever, and so is Detective Chief Inspector John Shadow. First, he has the theft of valuable Roman artifacts from a museum. Then, a Chinese tourist is reported missing. During his investigations, he encounters jewellers, chocolatiers, museum curators, and Roman soldiers—all pieces to a puzzle he must solve. After discovering a series of coincidences, he begins to suspect there may be a link between the two cases.
John Shadow is a man of contradictions. A solitary figure who notices the smallest details about other people, but endeavours to avoid their company. A lover of good food, but whose fridge is almost always empty. Although he would prefer to work alone, he is ably assisted by his eager partner Sergeant Jimmy Chang.
Shadow suspects he knows who the culprit is, but he needs proof. And then there’s the headache of trying to dodge attending an important party, even as the normally easygoing Jimmy behaves out of character.

Performed by Hannibal Hills, with a full range of individual voices, the investigation proceeds with little help from the colourful characters, the museum staff and the director's new wife, security guards dressed as Roman soldiers, illegal immigrants, a rugby game, a chocolatier, gossip galore, bodies old and new, the Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day and of course, lots of lunch and beer. It's a chaotic jumble of fun. Turn up the playback speed a couple of notches, listen and enjoy.
My thanks to the rights holders of A Roman Shadow for freely gifting me with a complimentary copy of the audiobook at my request.

I found the character of John Shadow to be rather interesting, irritable though he seems at first and Jimmy Chang was adorable with his kindly ways and thoughtful gifts.
The story itself was pretty interesting, artifact theft and missing girls, all in a days listen for this reader.
I'd recommend this if you enjoy cozy mysteries.
I was lucky enough to receive my copy free of charge in exchange for my honest review, which is what you have here.
Great story
