Review
Classic Fowler
I thought this was another very enjoyable instalment in the Bryant &
May series. That’s probably all that really need be said, but for
the record:
The Home Office has finally succeeded in disbanding the Peculiar Crimes Unit – as though that makes any difference when a strange, Herne-like figure is seen on a prestigious construction site in King’s Cross and a curious murder is discovered. Needless to say, Arthur and then John and the whole team are drawn into the unofficial investigation and the usual combination of an intricate plot, lots of fascinating history (this time of King’s Cross) and plenty of humour follow.
It’s classic Fowler: erudite, witty, readable and exciting. I would strongly advise starting at the beginning of this excellent series, which will explain a lot of the background to the characters, but it works as a stand-alone novel, too. Warmly recommended.
