Sarah Broadhurst's view...
The seventh novel to feature the eccentric London detectives Bryant and May, and this is just as strange and compelling as the others. These books are a joy to read, clever, humorous, sensitive, informative and exciting. They also make you look at England’s capital city in a whole new way …. This plot contains the twists and red herrings we’ve come to expect and the characters we’ve come to love. The writing is a wonderful mix of pace and intelligence which appeals on many levels. I can’t recommend it enough.
Comparison: Tim Davys (Amberville), Jasper Fforde (Nursery Crimes series), Malcolm Pryce (Aberystwyth series).

Synopsis
Bryant and May on the Loose by Christopher Fowler

For octogenarian detectives Arthur Bryant and John May, it seems retirement is now the only option. But then a headless body is found in a freezer, and on the perimeter of a massive construction site near King's Cross, a gigantic figure has been spotted - dressed in deerskin and sporting antlers made of knives and suddenly, with limited resources and very little time, the PCU are back in business...
