Bryant And May Off The Rails (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
Bryant and May never disappoint; I stayed up late last night to finish this one, the tension really builds in the end and even though I was sure I knew the culprit. I wasn't sure the PCU would get their man - and then I was totally gobsmacked with the twist Fowler throws at us, bravo! I love this series and hope it goes on for awhile; I stopped reading the series after the first four books so Fowler could get way ahead of me and I could read one after another and not run out - he's that good. I love the amazing characters, especially "London's most senior detective" Arthur Bryant, the curmudgeon's curmudgeon, and his never-ending font of arcane facts, folklore and funky friends. His imagination always runs away with him, but he's almost always right - delightful! I love the Peculiar Crimes Unit! What a fun group of misfits, thrown together over the years and solving crimes by the seat of their pants, always under threat of being closed down. The relationships are well developed, especially between the two main characters, Bryant and May. Not sure how much longer Mr. Fowler can keep the PCU going, but I'll stay with them as long as they continue to investigate odd crimes!
