Spoiler alert : I was very disappointed they didn't catch anyone but it was a story that was well told and in the end very entertaining. if this lady did another UK based investigation Iwould be very tempted to have a listen.

all the sauceiness that I come to enjoy with another good story line told in that well crafted scripted manner. All told and narrated as i like with proper cracterised voices. The only critisim would be Gideon, who sounds like a dirty old man rather than a hunky policeman.

As always excellent stories provided by the ongoing saga of the Casle's dealing with war time adversity in bomb alley and hells corner told right properly in such dramatic form that you feel like you are tight there in the room with em all. It's like having a ringside seat in the circus that is the Castle Cafe. The only small criticism I would make is that because there is a longish pause between books/episodes, a little bit of a reprise of the story so far and a reminder biography of all the characters would be helpful at the start of this and future episodes would be appreciated by the listener/reader. Otherwise its bloody brilliant and can't wait for the next instalment.

As with the other two books in this series the delivery was notes good as it could have been but I believe the story of the building up to 1066 is very accurate and it is the accuracy that is keeping g me interested.

I am not sure if it was the writing or the narration but expected it to be much more dramatic that it was. I was keen to learn more of this important moment in English history, but I am afraid I was left disappointed. I will listen to the next book in the series because although it wasn't dramatic enough, I understand that it is more or less true to the known historical events.

I'm not usually into Harry Potter fantasy stories and got into this one from the authors approach on the Barney and Skippy stories (inside joke). I really enjoy the comic humour of the stories, the impending doom of what's happening and the gunho attitude about how they get out of each fix and straight into the next one. it's roller coaster stuff with enough magical technical detail to make it all believable without sending you off into a slumber. Just love this guys style of writing and want more always.

All the chapters start with a particulat iconic London building and the author introduces you the full ins and outs of that building by describing what leads up to its creation and its consequences thereafter both on society and London itself. As a surveyor and a keen historian of London I found it totally absorbing.
