Bryant & May - Wild Chamber

Bryant and May, Book 14

De: Christopher Fowler

Narrado por: Tim Goodman

The members of London's Peculiar Crimes Unit are on the case again when a dog walker is found dead. The method of the death is odd...the killer had no way in - or out - and the dog is nowhere to be seen. But the 'hows' and 'whys' of the murder are not the only mysteries, and it seems very likely that the killer is preparing to strike again.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Devilishly clever." (Val McDermid, on Bryant and May: Strange Tide)
"Quirky, touching, profound and utterly original." ( Peter James)

I like this series

I like British. I like police procedurals. Combining these in the Peculiar Crimes Unit gives me the best of both. This book focuses, more than some in the series, on solving murders. The fascinating histories color the police work leading the reader to surprises. Then. quietly, the ending spells out.

I hate writing reviews

Mr. Fowler needs to dump the hallucinations . This theme is getting old in an otherwise entertaining series.

Love Bryant and May!

I hope they live forever. Such a delightful duo and team of characters. Wonderful friends

Bryant and may wild chamber

reasonably interesting, not as good as others in the series, but O K. so enjoy this story.

Not your usual Parks and Gardens book

Wild Chamber, the latest Bryant and May book and as fascinating as ever in one of my favourite series. Each book can be read as a standalone but I believe for most enjoyment they are best read in order, or at least begun earlier in the series. A vast history of the Peculiar Crimes Unit and the various relationships of its' members and associates has built up over many years and adds immeasurably to the overall pleasure. Some particular comments or unexpected characters in a book as far along as number fourteen may seem strange to a new reader.

A long and complex investigation here, involving several murders, but that is what we have come to expect and it didn't disappoint. I am delighted that Arthur Bryant has survived his treatment and enjoyed the way that he uses his 'hallucinations' for some apt references from the past to help his thinking fall into place.

This time we also learned about the many London Parks and green spaces to add to the wealth of London lore we gain from every single book. It was also a warning to keep our attention drawn on the threat that real life developers are posing to these precious green spaces and our need to protect them.

Tim Goodman as always the perfect narrator, he has portrayed every single one of the many characters become old familiar friends .

Thank you, Mr Fowler,sir, you are a master craftsman and I suspect there are echoes of yourself in Arthur, although hopefully not the hoarding of food in your pockets. Long may it continue.
