About this listen

March, 1941. World War Two is well underway and the Blitz is taking its toll on Central London with bombs raining down almost every night. Inspector Coburg and his trusted Sergeant Lampson are just recovering from the devastating bomb attack on the Café de Paris when they get a call asking them to go to the disused Lord's Underground station. Once there, they are taken to see the body of a man on the former platform. He's been beaten to death by blows on the back of his head, by what Dr Welbourne believes to have been a cricket bat.

Could the dead man be associated with the British Empire XI who are playing against English cricket teams at the world-famous Lord's cricket ground? Coburg and Lampson have a puzzling case to solve…

This book kept me company during a drive.
I enjoyed also the other series by Jim Eldridge, but these mysteries set in London during World War II are my favorite.
The plot is very plausible, and the reading is excellent, as always.

Too bad I finished it so quickly, now I’ll patiently wait for the next one.

Engaging new adventure for the detective, his wife and the other recurring characters

This started a bit jumbled but as usual came to a satisfactory conclusion. Mark Meadows is a great narrator but white actors doing black Caribbean parts isn’t an easy listen so I wish book producers would think about that in narratives. Anyway I’m starting to really enjoy the supporting characters, especially the bromance between The Earl and his ‘old friend’/batman.

this is the 3rd one in this series I've listened to, and I've enjoyed all of them. it moves along at a good pace, and all the characters are likeable. The narrator is terrific.
One thing I should mention is Rosa, Inspector Coburns wife seems to be a bit of a liability, as in all 3 I've listened to, someone different has tried to kill her. I'll have to wait for the 4th one to see if that continues.
all in all, great fun. and a great listen.

rattling good yarn

What a great way to escape for a few hours and enjoy these adventures. It struck me that the pleasure I get isn’t just from key storylines which are always well thought out and told but all the stuff that happens around the key plots. The character interaction with one another is so natural and often fun (where Magnus & Malcolm are involved)and really add the story, these books are a real pleasure and anyone who listens to them will thoroughly enjoy them.

Another wonderful Listen!
