Summary
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2021 HWA GOLD CROWN AWARD
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2021 CWA GOLD DAGGER
London Society takes their problems to Sherlock Holmes. Everyone else goes to Arrowood
South London, 1896. William Arrowood, Victorian London’s less salubrious private detective, is paid a visit by Captain Moon, the owner of a pleasure steamer moored on the Thames. He complains that someone has been damaging his boat, putting his business in jeopardy.
Arrowood and his trusty sidekick Barnett suspect professional jealousy, but when a shocking discovery is pulled from the river, it seems like even fouler play is afoot.
It’s up to Arrowood and Barnett to solve the case, before any more corpses end up in the watery depths . . .
Critic reviews
"Crackles with energy and wit." (The Times)
"A good belting [listen]...a gripping historical crime novel...book clubs will love it especially fans of C J Sansom." (NB Magazine)
"Mick Finlay, the new master of gritty, gruesome and gripping historical crime fiction … Brimming with dark humour, fast-paced action, intriguing twists and turns, and a cast of characters that could well have been conjured up by the late, great Mr Dickens, this is a top-class series that grows in stature with every new book." (Lancashire Evening Post)

Terrific
The gritty realism of London in the late 1800s is a first-rate contrast to the London of Holmes & Watson - I enjoy both. I’ve listened to all three Arrowood stories now & am looking forward to the fourth, in 2021. The narrator is outstanding.

Enjoyable
Bought this as a BOGOF and wasn’t expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. Set in the Victorian era against the backdrop of the London slums/the Thames a dastardly deed is done. Our hero who has a chip on his shoulder against Sherlock Holmes tries to work the mystery out with the help of a few friends.
It’s a fast moving novel which is well read.

Excellent
This is the third Arrowood story and they just get better and better. The stories are rich with detail and the narration really brings the out the depth of the characters. The idea of Arrowood being critical of Holmes is inspired and very well played throughout the books, definitely worth a listen.
