Summary

In every detective's life there are cases that can't be discussed. Now Arthur Bryant has decided to open the files on 11 of these previously unseen investigations.

The first-ever collection of Bryant & May stories not only sheds light on 11 classic cases but also contains everything you need to know about the two octogenarian detectives and the Peculiar Crimes Unit.

Loyal Fan

I love the Bryant and May series.
I think Christopher Fowler is a brilliant writer. His characters are fully formed, wonderful and maddening in equal parts, including London.
His plots give respectful waves to every variety of mystery tale and always deliver laughter and sadness. Arthur is a grumpy, selfish old git, even as a young man, and I adore him.
They are my favourite book series, in any genre.
This collection of short stories is a bag of gems. It hops about on their timeline and is a marvelous introduction to their world.
This was a reread while I await the second collection, due in a few days. Can't wait!

Usual fare but as short stories

I picked this up not realising that it was a collection of short stories with an author's introduction. Once I had realised what was going on it the stories are usually quite clever and a really enjoyable listen.

One minor criticism of the narration is that young Bryant has an old man's voice.

Superb short stories.

These short stories weren’t like the usual run of the mill in that they made sense and had an ending.
Each a mini book with a whole book feel!
As ever excellent narration from Tim Goodman.
Thank you Mr Fowler, I’ve read them all now and it was an absolute pleasure.

Just as good as ever.

Not listened to any short stories of Bryant and May before. Don't hesitate they are just as good as the full novels.

The tales continue with that wonderful humour, great life observation by one of the best narrators who brings the story to life.
