About this listen

As dawn breaks on a chilly morning in November 1940, a car is found ablaze in an abandoned builder's yard a stone's throw from the Regent's Canal in Camden Town, north London. In the burnt-out vehicle police find the charred remains of a body. The victim is Les Latham, a commercial traveller for the Barings confectionery company. He liked to be known as Lucky Les, but it seems his luck has finally run out. DI John Jago discovers among Latham's belongings a mysterious photograph and some suspicious-looking petrol ration books that set Jago off on a murky trail of deceit, corruption and murder.

I have enjoyed all of this series. This one was different and as usual I didn't get the murderer. His on going romance is an added bonus.

Great series

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Well crafted story, beautifully performed by Simon Mattacks.

The stories remain interesting partly due to good plots, but also the interesting peripheral characters. John Jago himself is increasingly pompous and humourless, though, it seems to me. Don’t know what Dorothy sees in him; I think she’d be better off with Peter Craddock!

Another good one

Another brilliant yarn from Mike Hollow. Equalled by the superb narration. Can’t wait for the next one.

Another great adventure

Another great one in this series as usual the plot keeps the reader guessing until the big reveal. very involved with the main characters in this series and looking forward to the next one upon release 😀

The story is good and the plot is engaging however it isn’t what I’d call amazing it’s certainly a nice pleasant book but not more

Good and enjoyable but not amazing
