A present-day bombing rips through London and claims the life of 80-year-old detective Arthur Bryant. For his partner John May, it means the end of a partnership that lasted over half a century and an eerie echo back to the Blitz of World War II when they first met. Desperately searching for clues, May finds his friend’s notes of their first case....

This program includes a preface read by the author. In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes - and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern 20th-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective.

When a peculiar letter arrives inviting Armand Gamache to an abandoned farmhouse, the former head of the Sûreté du Québec discovers that a complete stranger has named him one of the executors of her will. Still on suspension, and frankly curious, Gamache accepts and soon learns that the other two executors are Myrna Landers, the bookseller from Three Pines, and a young builder. None of them had ever met the elderly woman. The will is so odd and includes bequests that are so wildly unlikely that Gamache and the others suspect the woman must have been delusional. But what if, Gamache begins to ask himself, she was perfectly sane? When a body is found, the terms of the bizarre will suddenly seem less peculiar and far more menacing. But it isn’t the only menace Gamache is facing.

So when pompous, pious Reverend Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery, Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back. As their war of words escalates, London's most popular satirical cartoonist, A. J. Quill, skewers them both.

Publisher's Summary
The Thames is London's most important yet neglected artery. When a young woman is found chained to a post in the tide, no one can understand how she came to be drowned there. That's only part of the problem. Bryant's deteriorating condition prevents him from handling the case. To make matters worse, May makes a fatal error of judgment that knocks him out of action.
In an adventure that's as twisting as the river, will there be anything left of the Peculiar Crimes Unit when it's over?

for English History fans
The Peculiar Crimes Unit of the London Met is always a favorite of mine. I did enjoy English History/Lit so this book is a fine slow read of modern murder and ancient ritual. Not the usual who done it but a mystery deserving it's own shelf.

Welcome back Bryant and May!
Any additional comments?
The boys are back and are most welcome! Thank you Christopher Fowler for creating these wonderful characters and thank you Tim Goodman for bringing them to life. Having left Arthur Bryant last time on a bridge over the Thames, it is fitting that this story’s journey through the labyrinth of London is on that very river, coursing through the heart of the city. The plot is full of the usual twists with seemingly unconnected bits slowly being fitted together. In this one, the plot didn’t quite grab me quite as much as in past books but to be honest it isn’t the intricate plotting as good as it is that draws me to this series - it’s the characters and their interactions, the feeling and the humor, and what I learn about London and many arcane subjects. There are some interesting developments for the characters in this book and Fowler has managed to deal with the situation remaining from the last book in a very clever way. I am always entertained and enlightened by a Bryant and May book and this one is no exception. Bryant and May are delightful. More please.

Wonderful series
Would you consider the audio edition of Bryant & May - Strange Tide to be better than the print version?
Don't know as I haven't read any of them.
What did you like best about this story?
The interplay between the characters as it is in each book of the series.
Which character – as performed by Tim Goodman – was your favorite?
Bryant, as always.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
You won't know until the end.
Any additional comments?
I love this entire series and think the narrator, Tim Goodman, does a wonderful job. In most mysteries the "perp" is easily figured out but not in this series.

Strange Tide - Bryant & May
Another great by Christopher Fowler. Hate for these books to come to the end. Thank you so much for the insights to Dickens, for the LOL lines so perfectly placed and for a good mystery. Thanks to Tim Goodman for another perfect performance. Guess I will have to re-listen from book one until a new book comes out.

Maintaining a consistently high standard.
This is the thirteenth outing for Chris Fowler's octogenarian detectives. With other authors the plots and characters would be running dry by now, but Mr. Fowler goes from strength to strength. The detective are developing as characters and keeping abreast of their escapades is like keeping up with a member of your family. The rest of the PCU staff are like fond friends. I originally came into the series at book 6. Before I had reached half way I had to stop, buy all those before it and start from scratch. Now I buy every book as soon as it comes out and am never disappointed. I really cannot recommend these books enough, try them, you'll be hooked as well.

If you could sum up Bryant & May - Strange Tide in three words, what would they be?
Mesmeric, amusing, engrossing
Have you listened to any of Tim Goodman’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Ive listened to all of the books in the B&M series & I've enjoyed them all the same.
Tim Goodman really is fabulous. Having listened to many other audio books it makes you appreciate just what a difference a narrator such as he makes...just how much they add to the listening experience
Any additional comments?
I've listened to 100's of audio books over the years. The Bryant & May books rank as my number one. It's been said before but I think they would make a fantastic TV series

Narration at its et
I think this narrator is first class. A good narrator makes an excellent story come alive. Sadly there are some bad ones who make you stop listening but happily this isn't one of them.
A cracking story from Mr Fowler that makes you wish he could write faster so I don't have to wait for the next Bryant & May.

Enjoyable, detective romp through London.
A quirky double act. History, humour, flowing and twisting like the Thames. Splendid narration and characterisation. Learnt a lot and laughed a lot too !

He can't pronounce De Beauvoir
I laughed out loud at this mishap. I live locally and it's Beau pronounced French style like bow, not bee. I didn't recognise it from the description, but this aside I liked the story and the performance.

Good to have them back
As always Bryant and May never disappoint and this book is as good as the previous. Christopher Fowler weaves a magnificent tale taking in lots of London trivia alongside a good old detective yarn. It's great to have the duo back along with the rest of the PCU and a good if somewhat strange resolution to Mr Bryant's mental capacity. I don't want to give too much away but it is very neatly done. The murders are gruesome and unusual as always, but the denouement is worth the wait. Go on enjoy yourself and listen to the great Tim Goodman read he will forever be Bryant and May long may they continue.

Best Yet.
I don't know who to praise first, Christopher Fowler for creating these wonderful characters or Tim Goodman for bringing them to life!
Marvelous story.
Laughed out proud many times, mostly when Raymondo was involved oddly.
I love Bryant and May.
Thank you for another wonderful episode.

Bryant and May
I have listened to the whole series and have throughly enjoyed all the books. The writing is excellent and Tim Goodman brings them to life perfectly. I can imagine all the characters and see them as they go about their peculiar work.
I am now having to wait for the next book which I hope will also be narrated by Tim Goodman.

Be prepared to be entertained
Another excellent story by Christopher Fowler that catches your attention and draws you in with all the skill of an experienced angler, keeping you on edge with its progress until the very end., the characters superbly brought to life by Tim Goodman.

New Tricks meets The Avengers
This unique and entertaining series continues to delight. Funny, informative, humane, and wonderfully weird. The author juggles a whole family of regular characters whose lives are interwoven with each new plot. The gothic strangeness of the background , the arcane elements of Bryant' s world combined with very modern social issues combine in a very successful. mix. Wise and informative.
