Summary
There's method in the madness of a murderer who strikes in the night's darkest hour....
On a rainy winter night outside a nightclub in London, four strangers meet for the first time at 4:00 a.m. A few weeks later a body is found inside a willow tree on Hampstead Heath. The Peculiar Crimes Unit is called in to investigate.
When another victim seemingly commits suicide, it becomes clear that in the London night is a killer who knows what people fear most. As they explore a night city where all the normal rules are upended, Bryant and May are drawn deeper into a case that involves murder, arson, kidnap, blackmail, bats and the psychological effects of loneliness on Londoners. It's a trail that takes them from the poorest part of the East End to the wealthiest homes in North London - an investigation that can only end in tragedy....

Another great story
These books are really well narrated and the stories interesting. Very readable and quite sad as the detectives get older.

Different
This is the first Christopher Fowler book I have listened to. It was narrated very well but the story line seemed to take quite a while to develop. But all in all enjoyable

Favourite so far
Having listened to the Bryant and May series in order (and thoroughly enjoyed them all) this is my favourite so far. A really great story - the characters continue to grow and draw you into the side plots of their lives. I love alleyways that these books take you down, never boring or tedious, I always come away from them having learned things as diverse as the coating of London’s park railings to Nero’s sex life. Fascinating, entertaining, hugely enjoyable.

The lonely hour
As always jolly good yarn to keep guessing the reader's voice sets the tone making you be live that Bryant is indeed an old police detective working well in to his retirement time really enjoyable

Bryant and May.............may they live for ever!
I was astonished and delighted that Mr Fowler had not buried our two old detectives.
What can I say, they are all back in form, allowing the reader to laugh with old friends.
I don't care what the story is about because the joy of listening to Bryant's antics and May's eternal patience is a pleasure in itself.
I will now just hope that Mr Fowler, who probably enjoys writing these stories as we love reading them, will not try again to send them off in a scene of twilight sadness, and just let nature take it's course! Thank you Mr Fowler, you have given me some more hours of enjoyment with your last book. Please don't stop!

One of the best Bryant&May books
I love this story which at first appears to echo the earlier ones with all the funny bits, all the historical bits about London. May getting annoyed with Bryant doing his own things. Then suddenly things change and a curve ball of emotions and tension makes the story richer, deeper and more gripping. With an unexpected twist in the ending leaving me wanting more.
