About this listen

It’s all Tinkler’s fault. If it weren’t for his obsession with the 1970s band Black Dog, none of this would have happened.

The members of Black Dog performed an infamous publicity stunt on Halig Island: they burned a million dollars on an enormous bonfire. But the stunt backfired, splitting the band for good and increasing the value of their final, recalled album tenfold.

The Vinyl Detective and Nevada accept the challenge to hunt a copy down for Tinkler but soon realize that the search is going to be their most dangerous yet. Narrowly avoiding a killing spree, negotiating deranged fans and being pursued by hack celebrity Stinky Stamner, they discover that perhaps all was not as it seemed on Halig Island - and that in the embers of that fire are clues of a motive for murder....

The fourth book in the hilarious and enthralling Vinyl Detective mystery series.

The next instalment of a really excellent series. The characters are engaging the plot is clever and fun. The series provides a new take on the detective genre (no knowledge of records required). I can’t recommend it highly enough.

A charming, fun read with twists aplenty

of the previous books, great yarn which leaves no loose ends and isn’t overly complicated, look forward to more adventures with the Vinyl Detective! PS Pity the island isn’t real but suppose a couple of places in UK spring to mind.

Carrying on the tradition.....

My husband and I have listened to all of Andrew Cartmel's books about the Vinyl Detective and this one is the best so far. We both hope there are more to come. Well written and well read.

They keep getting better

The series and characters have really built over the last 3 books so it’s brilliant to be part of their adventure again this time round!

Plenty jeopardy and joes from start to finish!

As with the other books this was, overall, very good. There seem to be something missing. There appeared to be a lot of unnecessary explanation, almost as if there was no story line left.
Sorry, got to say I still preferred the original narrator.
