This was an entertaining and enjoyable read - an old-fashioned detective story set in contemporary London, with a bit of social commentary and some interesting historical excursions into the history of Mr Punch. Although this is the first I've read in this series, there were a lot of familiar memes from police TV shows and other books - multiple murders, a special unit with enemies in high places, an incompetent boss, an oddball main detective character who keeps his hunches to himself until the big reveal. At first I thought it was going to be a paranormal story like the Ben Aaronovitch series I read last year (where Mr Punch also made an appearance), but it isn't and I think I enjoyed it more because of that.
The two elderly coppers of the London Metropolitan Police’s Peculiar Crimes Unit, Arthur Byatt and John May, are eccentric, mad and weird. Fortunately not all at the same time. The infanticide case they work in the new book is gruesome, but the geezers liven it up with their unique brand of sleuthing. Fowler's growing body of fans will snatch this one up, and readers who enjoy Golden Age-style mysteries with a spot of humor and gothic atmosphere shouldn't miss this.

The indomitable duo of Arthur Bryant and John May, along with the rest of their quirky team, must solve a confounding case with dark ties to the British theater and a killer who may mean curtains for all involved. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Meanwhile, a subplot concerning Bryant's memoirs sets up a future plotline and holds the promise of explaining the persistent malice of Whitehall official, Oskar Kasavian, who has plotted throughout the series to shut down the Peculiar Crimes Unit. ( )
