Publisher's 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...

    Story
    "Another great Bryant and May"
    What did you love best about The Victoria Vanishes?

    As always, the story kept me guessing to the end without witholding clues or information


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Bryant - he's sherlock but older and grumpier


    Which character – as performed by Tim Goodman – was your favorite?

    Bryant - Tim Goodman really makes the old man pop


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes, I looked for opportunities to listen to just a few more minutes, just a few more!

    Story
    "Dated"

    This was obviously an old story which had been 'updated' by the insertion of references to modern technology. The characters were straight out of the 1960s. I wish it had been a more honest book. The premise was interesting, but it was a character driven work and the characters only just limped over the believable line for me. An OK listen, but not one I'll go back to.
