More brain candy, this one all about the London Underground, and I mean ALL about it. This is a follow-on to the last book, where the duo lost their murder suspect after arrest, so his capture is the initial goal of the story, but of course it ends up about other things as well, involving King's Cross station, flash mobs, and the usual assortment of British history. Why do I read these? No idea. But the mystery is always unraveled satisfactorily at the end. ( )

The story lends itself well to incorporating history of the London underground and some of its stations and the humor between Bryant and May and the team is as good as ever. The plot is a bit hard to follow on audiobook and there are way too many suspects, though! During a trip to London in 2019, I relied on the Russell Square and Euston stations to get around so it was fun to read a book set in their midst. ( )

I feel Fowler has hit his stride with this instalment. Beautiful clarity of writing, interesting with a laugh out loud moment in the ending. ( )

Fowler's series is a break for me if I've been in too serious or heavy a book. I don't try to figure out whodunnit; I just let the oddball scenes amuse me. ( )

I'm reading this at the Nashville Talking library. Finished it last week. I'm still a bit confused as the whole plot led you to believe you were following one murderer and then twisted right at the end. I didn't have time to go back and read the last several chapters again to figure out what happened to one of the main characters. ( )
