Summary

The Thames is London's most important yet neglected artery. When a young woman is found chained to a post in the tide, no one can understand how she came to be drowned there. That's only part of the problem. Bryant's deteriorating condition prevents him from handling the case. To make matters worse, May makes a fatal error of judgment that knocks him out of action.

In an adventure that's as twisting as the river, will there be anything left of the Peculiar Crimes Unit when it's over?

Critic reviews

"Devilishly clever." (Val McDermid)
All stars

This is the thirteenth outing for Chris Fowler's octogenarian detectives. With other authors the plots and characters would be running dry by now, but Mr. Fowler goes from strength to strength. The detective are developing as characters and keeping abreast of their escapades is like keeping up with a member of your family. The rest of the PCU staff are like fond friends. I originally came into the series at book 6. Before I had reached half way I had to stop, buy all those before it and start from scratch. Now I buy every book as soon as it comes out and am never disappointed. I really cannot recommend these books enough, try them, you'll be hooked as well.

Maintaining a consistently high standard.

If you could sum up Bryant & May - Strange Tide in three words, what would they be?

Mesmeric, amusing, engrossing

Have you listened to any of Tim Goodman’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Ive listened to all of the books in the B&M series & I've enjoyed them all the same.
Tim Goodman really is fabulous. Having listened to many other audio books it makes you appreciate just what a difference a narrator such as he makes...just how much they add to the listening experience

Any additional comments?

I've listened to 100's of audio books over the years. The Bryant & May books rank as my number one. It's been said before but I think they would make a fantastic TV series

Love, Love, Love this series

Quite a few twists in this one, but it was great to have the old team together at last.

Another great listen

More London-based capers with my favourite pair of detectives. Christopher Fowler keeps coming up with the goods and long may it continue.
Tim Goodman, the narrator, really does bring the characters to life to the point where they feel like old friends. Outside the characters’ voices, however, he seems to have some bizarre ideas about pronunciation. It doesn’t detract though from a highly enjoyable yarn.

Another hit!
