About this listen

In the fifth novel in Malcolm Archibald's series of 19th-century detective novels, Sergeant Watters finds himself overwhelmed with three simultaneous cases.

With a case of poisoning, a series of child kidnappings, and somebody with a seeming dislike of clocks and watches, Watters and his team are stretched thin. Things become even more complicated when a circus comes to Dundee, and Watters has to help raid an illegal gambling den.

Fortunately, Dr. Beaton is there to help. But who is the mysterious man who crosses his path in Dundee, and why would anyone wish to kidnap boys from impoverished backgrounds?

Find out in Not a Pukka Gentleman, a riveting historical mystery set in 19th-century Dundee, Scotland.

I would never have thought that this type of book would appeal to me but it does as it was so well written and narrated. The two different elements worked well and I could really feel his wife's fear over their son (although he wasn't in the age range).

The book was very well narrated and really added to the story.

Such an enjoyable listen

This is an excellent story, although book 5 it doesn't matter if you have listened to the previous books, it stands alone well. The cases Waters investigates are all based on true stories from Dundees murky past and are solved by good old fashioned policemen. Highly recommended. Grant Loves narration is spot on and really brings the book to life.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and leave this honest review.
