A fabulous, really enjoyable read.
I would recommend to family and friends.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for my ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

The latest installment in the Bryant and May series sees the elderly detectives battling to find an increasingly brave and bizarre murderer/arsonist against the backdrop of a collapsing bank system, corrupt bankers and London in lock-down because of escalating protests and riots. (To get a picture of the events in the novel, imagine the financial meltdown on 2008 coinciding with the riots of 2011 but then make them bigger.)
I loved the idea of older gentlemen with old fashioned, post-war ideas dealing with very modern crimes and ideas (I particularly enjoyed reading the descriptions of the very elderly Bryant trying to get his head around social media.) Yes, it’s unusual to have protaganists who are older, but I think they really shine in this fast paced, witty and thrilling detective novel. Definitely worth a read, especially if you’re a fan of Sherlock Holmes novels.

Great read.
