Bryant and May on the Loose

LoveReading Says

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).
