About this listen

Long regarded as an anachronism, the Peculiar Crimes Unit is to be disbanded. For octogenarian detectives Arthur Bryant and John May, it seems retirement is now the only option. But then a headless body is found in a freezer, and a suspicious, gigantic figure has been spotted - dressed in deerskin and sporting antlers made of knives. It looks like the PCU are back in business...

Any additional comments?

Aged detectives and a Peculiar Crimes Unit? Utter nonsense in modern London. But the crime story is far from nonsense with splendid characterisations and, after many weird and wonderful distractions and ruminations, ultimately logical and satisfying.

These two detectives are a breath of fresh air in the world of crime novels. Bryant's character is particularly well drawn and Tim Goodman catches it to perfection. The background to Fowler's books are fascinating and the history of London really comes alive while the plots unravel.

Excellent and as weird as ever

If you enjoy well crafted whodunnits, great humorous characters and learning about London history this is your book. I have thoroughly enjoyed Bryant and May On the Loose! Having decided to try it on offer and knowing very little about the author, I am so delighted I have bought a few more.

Great discovery having tried it on offer!

I was wondering when a rolling super villain would show himself in the deeply addictive Bryant & May series! Excellent! Downloading next book as I write this!

Ahh so here's Moriarty

Came across Bryant and May when one of the titles was on offer on Audible. So entertaining, great stories they are a classic double act, fast paced and great background information on London threaded throughout. Now i'm completely hooked and am working my way through from book two onwards, it's a shame Book 1 isn't on Audible. Tim Goodman's narration is outstanding, great character voices and he gets it right with the accents and is very consistent.

Bryant and May Addict!
