Summary

The Vinyl Detective plunges into the world of death metal in his sixth adventure. Expect laughs, LPs, cats and the return of fan favourites, Nevada, Tinkler, Stinky Stanmer and more.

The Vinyl Detective goes Scandi noir in his sixth adventure. Disfigured corpse. Check. Grotesque snowman. Check. Headless animals. Check. But in fact the killer is taking their cue not from Scandi noir fiction but another popular Scandinavian export—death metal.

Corpse face...

Mr detective and his merry band of coffee snobs delve into the world of scandi crime and black metal. I wonder if one rare vinyl retrieval trek won't involve nearly becoming brown bread? Attack and decay is a fine addition to the vinyl detective collection. It leans on the comedy while dealing with the dangerous adventures of collecting vinyl. Though non of the books have been as wild a ride as the first novel where I had no idea where the heck it was going. I've found the series stories to be a touch predictable, the journey to the end is always a fun one though. I find the narrator a little staccato he still brings the characters to life skillfully

Great story, not so great reading.

It's the Vinyl Detective as always and the story is as good as ever - Tinkler's a bit too ... Tickler in places, but no problem with the writing. The reading is at times clumsy, with poor characterisation.

Entertaining as usual

I’ve no experience of police work but I totally understand that as fellow human beings they must hate some of the humans they have to deal with and I have great respect for the way they manage to deal with such people

Wonderful!

Another fantastic book in the Vinyl Detective series. Fabulous characters that are so familiar to me now. Clever plot and very funny too. The narrator does a great job - really bringing the characters to life. Would highly recommend the whole series

Most annoying characters

I was really looking forward to this release for several months.
The story in itself was good however the characters especially Tinkler are so annoying.
