About this listen

When a mint copy of the final album by Valerian - England's great lost rock band of the 1960s - surfaces, all hell breaks loose. Finding this record triggers a chain of events culminating in our hero learning the true fate of the singer of Valerian, who died under equivocal circumstances just after...or was it just before the abduction of her two-year-old son?

Along the way the Vinyl Detective finds out what happened to the missing child, and it wasn't what anyone expected - or wanted - to hear.

Would you listen to The Run Out Groove again? Why?

This was one of those books that I couldn't wait to finish but regretted it when I did. It was great fun from beginning to end and had me chuckling out loud on several occasions. I was surprised to find how much I had come to regard the characters as friends.

An easy and rewarding listen - well written, equally well narrated, and definitely one of my favourite audiobooks.

Even better than the first Vinyl Detective Mystery

Great story again. Shame it's not the same narrator as the first one. but still looking forward to the third one.

another good installment

Shame this didn't match up to the last book for me. The story wasn't as good. I will check out the next one, as long as the Author drops the Cleanhead nickname, it's worn thin in this book and used too often

not as good as the last one

Not quite as good as the first one, and not quite as compelling a premise, but still quite a good yarn.
Some of the best scenes I felt could have been fleshed out a little for dramatic effect. Also the end was distinctly remeniscsint of the end of the first novel.
Still, in for a penny and all that - the next one awaits! 😉

S'okay. Quite a good romp.

Much better then first book; clearer storyline. Plenty of twists and turns. Just a shame character voices werent as distinct as first book

Better then first
