The Peculiar Crimes Unit has solved many extraordinary cases over the years, but some were hushed up and hidden away. Until now. Arthur Bryant remembers these lost cases as if they were yesterday. Here, then, is the truth about the Covent Garden opera diva and the 17th reindeer, the body that falls from the Tate Gallery, the ordinary London street corner where strange accidents keep occurring, the consul’s son discovered buried in the unit’s basement, the corpse pulled from a swamp of Chinese dinners....

Story
Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service “to investigate historical over-reaching.” Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn.

Northern Ireland, spring 1981. Hunger strikes, riots, power cuts, a homophobic serial killer with a penchant for opera, and a young woman’s suicide that may yet turn out to be murder: on the surface, the events are unconnected, but then things—and people—aren’t always what they seem. Detective Sergeant Duffy is the man tasked with trying to get to the bottom of it all. It’s no easy job—especially when it turns out that one of the victims was involved in the IRA but was last seen discussing business with someone from the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force.

As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.

Story
Spring, 1918. The Great War is at a crucial stage, the Germans are making one last push into France, and the Allies are struggling to hold them back. Battle lines are shifting, and men, and their machines, are being sent up and down the front to shore up defenses. Major Heathcliff Lennox, and his batman Greggs, are told to report to their new HQ. They set off on a sunlit day to fly the distance, but the enemy is never far away, and disaster strikes. They're sent crashing to the ground behind enemy lines, where life, death, and love await.

Publisher's summary
One Sunday morning, the outspoken speaker of the House of Commons steps out of his front door only to be crushed under a mountain of citrus fruit. Bizarre accident or something more sinister? The government needs to know because here's a man whose knowledge of parliament’s biggest secret could put the future of the government at stake.
It should be the perfect case for Bryant and May and the Peculiar Crimes Unit, but unfortunately one detective is in hospital, the other is missing and the staff have all been dismissed. It seems the PCU is no more. But events escalate: a series of brutal crimes seemingly linked to an old English folk-song threatens the very foundation of London society, and suddenly the PCU is offered a reprieve and is back in (temporary) business!
And if the two elderly detectives, ‘old men in a woke world’, do manage to set aside their differences and discover why some of London’s most influential figures are under life-threatening attack, they might not just save the unit but also prevent the entire city from descending into chaos....

Love Love Loved it!
This series has been such a bright spot in my life!
As with the preceding books, I laughed from cover to cove - despite the underlying tragedy of guest characters. Fowler, mostly through Arthur Bryant and Raymond Land, is a comedic genius of a clever, informative and subtle sort.
So sad to have finished the book. Now I have to wait another year before the next. I will read many other books this year, but rest assured none will be as entertaining.

Another great book in the series - my 1st time with the audio version. Narrator's performance is fine but he makes a ton of soft mouth noises like his lips stick together. Had to force myself to finish.

Only B&M to make my cry
I have read all of these books but in this one Fowler covertly takes on what has been going on in the world, the ugliness and inequity, and writes an excellent story about it. As usual I had no idea who the villain was, and it is the speech by this so called villain that made me cry because (this sounds heavy handed and prescriptive but it was not) the world had made them so. Fowler actually has a new young character who is an interesting counterpart to Bryant (though don't let May go anywhere please). The usual rollicking mythology, London love, and labyrinthine plot but there was something extra here that reflects the world right now and also felt quite sorrowful.

listened twice!
And I could listen to a third time. This is one of the best in the series. Fowler was at his best. The language, too, is part of the ride. Plots & personalities interweave unexpectedly, yes...suprises...& the character development is fabulous; wonderful historic & geographic elements sweep you along like a Greek chorus. You can even follow them along by Google maps.
Tim Goodman is SO good at the narration it is...acting each character clearly. Overall too, one could listen to his voice (and voices) all day long.
By the end of the last book things were uneasy about the partings occuring between them all. Here we be reassured that The Pecular Crimes Unit, Bryant & May, et al, still have a rabbit up their sleeves. Yay!

disappointed
loved first few stories but this one was too long, boring at times to the point I was yelling at the audio device "get on with it". I guessed the murderer from the first few chapters but waited for Bryant to get to it. should have stopped buying the books in this series back a few books. too bad, I used to love the Bryant character.

It was a real treat to have a new Bryant and May to listen too in lockdown. I’ve missed them and always feel anxious about wether Christopher Fowler will bring them back . I enjoyed this very much just as I have all the books in this series.

Quirky, amusing and full of factual information.
I had forgotten just how enjoyable this series is. It's very much Marmite-love them or hate them. They are amusing, and the characters have developed over the years.
One of the best part of the books is the research that obviously goes into them, and therefore giving us some historic facts about London and various through the ages. Simply brilliant, and can't wait for the next book.

all rolled up I to a delicious nugget of joy. You can listen to this any time of the day or night and be drawn into the story and encouraged to stay with ever word. The writing is perfect and the reading couldn't be more perfect. A huge fan of the books is now an even bigger fan of the audible versions!

Too slow reading, wonderful story
Kudo's to the author for the irrationally constructed but all too complete a story of mystical occurences in the always unpredictable London weather. Thank you, it was a lovely read.
The only downside is the slowness with which the reader read what Bryant said and thought. It became annoying... but the I focussed on the story and I forgot my annoyance...

Another amazing story from the old boys
Thankyou for another story from Bryant and May. l enjoyed this book very much not only from the story line with it's twists and turns but feel l know the characters so well they feel like a pair of cosy slippers. Bryant and May have become two of my most favourite detectives and l can't understand how they have never been picked up for a tv series. Still maybe it's better not to as l have a minds eye picture of how they look and would not want some one elses interpretation . Once l started to listen l could not stop listening, a good plot and well thought out as usual with lots of well written social history and the old history of London thrown in. Well read by Tim Goodman . l have listened to all the Bryant and May audio books and have enjoyed each and every one of them on their own merit. Tim Goodman took some getting used to and l almost gave up on the first book but l am so pleased l did not as l would have missed out on some of the best characters and stories l have ever heard. I would highly recommend that everyone should at least listen to Bryant and May once. Long may they live. Thankyou Christopher Fowler for writing these books and giving us all these wonderfull characters.

The narration is superb, wonderful characters, I’m even developing a fondness for Raymond! Visions of monks and aniseed balls, clarified butter as WD40, so many things to make me laugh out loud much to the surprise of those I walk past in the park. Joy from beginning to end but the best line of all ....... Bryant and May will be back! Thank you to Christopher Fowler and Tim Goodman.

Stalled
I listened to it once, and, as is my habit , a few weeks later I wanted to listen again. It no longer plays. I have tried several times, no go. I haven't been able to contact you so am trying this way of getting your attention. Many thanks.

Loved it. Great story. Outstanding narration. Nice twist. Probably my favorite in the series so far.
