About this listen

Gower Street, London, 1882: Sidney Grice, London's most famous personal detective, is expecting a visitor. He drains his fifth pot of morning tea, and glances outside, where a young, plain woman picks her way between the piles of horse-dung towards his front door. Sidney Grice shudders. For heaven's sake—she is wearing brown shoes. The Mangle Street Murders is for those who like their crime original, atmospheric, and very, very funny.

Critic reviews

"One of the most delightful and original new novels of the year, this is the first in a series that could well become a cult. Grice and Middleton promise to become a positive treat. Catch them now." ( Daily Mail)

Full of lovely funny asides - favourite one? Thank you Dr Arthur Conan Doyle. Loved it. Will certainly buy next one!

Well worth a listen

Emma Gregory does more than justice to this disappointing story. Advertised as funny, it might occasionally cause ablip to twitch, but don’t expect to laugh.

Superbly read second-rate story

Less comedy than I thought given the reviews I’d seen but a nice whodunnit with keen observation as to the male dominated society of the past. Refreshing representation of flaws in main characters but could have done with a tad more humanity in the detective. But incongruous that he’s be a vegetarian for ethical reasons but not have sympathy for less fortunate people...

Engaging and well narrated

Totally addictive, twists and turns in the storyline with such an unexpected end. Had thought it was going to be similar to Sherlock Holmes, but I was wrong!
Brilliantly narrated, by Emma Gregory all characters very believable. Did not want the story to end..hoping I find that M.R.C Kasasian has written more.

Superb!

Lovely narration brings all the characters to life beautifully.
Mr Grice is a complicated character and you want to give him a shake at times but March handles him very well. The plot is excellent and well thought out. I look forward to reading the other books in this series and will definitely look for other narration by Emma Gregory

Very enjoyable
