About this listen

When one of his cats accidentally discovers a rare Victory Disc, the Vinyl Detective and his girlfriend, Nevada, are whisked into the world of big band swing music and a mystery that began during the Second World War.

Hired to track down the rest of the highly sought-after recordings of the Flare Path Orchestra, our hero will discover that the battles of the last world war aren’t over yet. And if all this sounds simple, it’s only because we haven’t mentioned drive-by shootings, murderous neo-Nazis, or that slight case of being buried alive....

Fun enough listen, miss Book 1 narrator.

It was a moderate pace fun listen and the plot is good.

But I do miss the first narrator's interpretation for one of the female main characters and also how he portrayed Tinkler in book 1 was also very different, which was a bit confusing.

It is fun but I found the first two books a bit more engaging.

Its another wonderful story

Andrew Cartmel's Vinyl Detective stories are some of the best detective fiction around. He goes from "cosy crime" to "really quite sinister" in a moment, and the plots are so wonderfully paced. All the clues are there, but he doesn't let you piece it together until he's ready.

Another good yarn in this series

This is the second of these books I've bought from Audible and I'm really enjoying the series so far. It sounds to be a well produced story and read well by Finlay Robertson with just the right amount of characterisation. Thankfully the story has not been spoiled by music or intrusive sound effects. It's obvious the author knows his subject matter and I've even been introduced to some albums I'd never have thought of investigating before listening to this

Hmmmm, maybe lost me, this one.

This third instalment feels like it is suffering the “difficult second album” syndrome. And this review is lacking sufficient words.

Brilliant, engaging story and really well read.

I have read all three Vinyl Detective books and they are all brilliant, clever, funny, engaging stories and all really well read. Finlay brings real character to everyone in the story.
I am so sorry that there are no more currently available.

Gets better and better

Each book in the series seems to be better then the last. Perhaps its the growth of the characters and our attachment to them as readers. The narrator seemed more confident and i could tell characters apart more easily. Worth a listen
