Summary

 One night, Arthur Bryant witnesses a drunken lady coming out of a pub. The next morning, she is found dead at the exact spot where their paths crossed. Even more disturbingly, the pub has vanished and the street has changed.

Bryant is convinced that he saw them as they looked over a century before - is elderly detective losing his mind? Then it becomes clear that a number of women have met their ends in London pubs and the likeliest suspect seems to be a mental patient. But knowing who the killer is and catching him are two very different propositions.

As their new team at the Peculiar Crimes Unit goes in search of a madman, the octogenarian detectives ready themselves for the pub crawl of a lifetime, and come face to face with their own mortality...

First Bryant and May book I read, I didn't enjoy . Second one I loved, so I took a punt on the audio book and I fear I've become addicted to them.

Two days after finishing a Bryant and May detective story you will have difficulty describing what the actual plot was (at least I do), but with this series the plot is not the central feature. What you do remember is the colourful cast of characters who make up the Peculiar Crimes Unit and the city in which they investigate crimes, not always with efficiency or success. The narration is first-class.

A very different kind of detective story
