Full Dark House Audiobook

" I was hopefully optimistic when I found this book, but found the first half tedious and slow. It picked up about midway through giving me hope that I would not be dissatisfied with my choice. In the end I think the book should have been given more time to develop characters, relationships and plots. Sometime I felt clueless as to what was going on, or how a conclusion was being drawn, often flipping back through the book trying to figure it out myself eventually giving up and leaving it up to assumption. I think if given the opportunity this story could shine brighter. All in all the history was fascinating, the story mildly entertaining, and I will take a chance with his next PCU book :) . "

" Loved this, not the same as Nero Wolfe books, but great language use, had to look up quite a few words, which was great fun and really was interested to read the parts set during the Blitz, gave me a very different view of what London may have been like then...I'm sucked into this series. "

" A thoroughly enjoyable mystery set primarily in 1940s London, at the time of the Blitz. I plan on reading more of May's & Bryant's exploits. "

" At no point in this book could I remember which of the two main characters was the weird one and which was the rational one. It didn't matter; there was one weird guy and one rational guy, and there you go. "

" Quite disturbing to me because of violent murders, but the story was intriguing! The setting is England during the war and in a thearter where a play is being performed. I didn't guess who the murderer was and I liked that! "

" I found the storytelling to be choppy and the numerous era-specific details more distracting than descriptive. Perhaps the later books are better written, but I'm not planning to read more of the series. Overall, a good mystery told in a disappointing style. "

" These are pretty good. They are set in London, and there's a lot of British terminology that makes it a bit confusing, but I'm interested to read the rest of the series. "

" As most things English, this book has taken me some time to become addicted. But now, sadly, I must go off in search of another one of these delightful mysteries. "

" I especially enjoyed this work, because the characters are unique and comical. Not only the that, The concept of an unusual crimes unit adds a lot of different twists to the genre. "

" Brilliant cross between old school crime novel and gothic horror story set in London in the 1940s and the 1990s... The first I read in the series after having known Fowler as a modern day horror writer of gothic stories based on his love of London. "

" A fun mystery... actually two mysteries at the same time in a way, with flashbacks. The interplay between the the two main characters should be a lot of fun in the following books from the series... nice Felix and Oscar vibe :) "

" I discovered Christopher Fowler about a year ago. I love every one of his Bryant & May mysteries - if you're a fan of the genre, you can't go wrong! "

" Great book! I've never been a big mystery fan, but Bryant and May are great characters, and I truly did not guess the ending (which is unusual for me). Can't wait to read the next one! "

" The time-jumping takes a little getting used to, but overall I am happy to discover a series I have not read that already is several books in. "

" This book was wild. In a good and crazy way. "

" Highly enjoyable read about two surprisingly active detectives in their eighties. Interesting to get a history lesson in a work of fiction. Intelligent writing with good dark humour which left me chuckling alot. "

" Great fun! how did I never stumble across this guy before - lovely mix of cop and weirdity, well-written, vibrant characters. Absolutely determined to seek out everything else in the series. "

" This mystery series is highly reviewed, but it was too filled with male cleverness to resonate with me. "

" It's always a pleasure to find a good new mystery author. The main characters (from the very appropriately named Peculiar Crimes Unit) and storyline were quirky without becoming annoying. I also enjoyed the setting, which moved between London during the Blitz and present-day London. "
