Publisher Description

The unthinkable has happened at London's Peculiar Crimes Unit. In the depths of winter, a member of staff has been found murdered, and everyone who works there is suddenly a suspect.

But Arthur Bryant and John May, the eccentric elderly detectives who run London's strangest crime division, aren't on hand to solve the crime. They've ventured into the heart of the English countryside, only to become stranded on a desolate snowbound section of road.

As the blizzard worsens, Bryant and May attempt to solve the crime long distance using only their mobile phones. Unfortunately, their situation is about to get very much worse.

"Great characters combined with an excellent mystery, lots of surprises and the usual quality I have come to expect from a Christopher Fowler novel. A locked room mystery with twists. Fowler is my favourite crime writer! There is an element of Dirk Gently about Arthur Bryant and his approach to detection. I love the Bryant and May mysteries and highly recommend them."

    " The Peculiar Crimes Unit is closed for the week to allow for upgrades of the computer systems. Bryant and May go off to a convention of psychics and get caught in a snowstorm, and the about to retire pathologist is found murdered in the locked morgue with the corpse of a beautiful young woman. To complicate matters for Bryant and May, besides cell phone calls from the PCU, they find a murdered man in one of the trucks stuck in the snow with them, and another beautiful young woman with her son are being tracked by a suspected killer.

    " A slow book. Disjointed and not very clever. The younger generations of police and investigators (which includes anyone born after the Great War!) cannot manage to solve anything on their own. "

    " I love this series. It is very quirky and extremely British. Bryant and May are such anachronisms; I enjoy them both. A lovely twist on a crime novel. "

    " Two mysteries in one on this one. A great back and forth. Trapped in a snowstorm with a killer...what are Bryant and May to do? Solve it of course! I'm trying to ration them, I've only got two left before I'm out. "

    " I read #1 & 2 then accidentally skipped to this one, #5! But I think it's going to be ok. Again, I was kept guessing to the end and I read a lot of mysteries and have gotten quite good at figuring out who done it. NOT so with the Peculiar Crimes Mysteries! "

    " This series has amazing reviews, but I didn't find this that entertaining at all. I though the mystery was sort of lame, I didn't like the detective characters very much, and I thought the writing was just ok. Maybe other books in the series are good - I doubt I'll ever bother to find out. "

    " A solid but bland mystery, though a damned sight better than "Ten Second Staircase". However, I can only recommend this one for folks who've already fallen a bit in love with Bryant and May and the Peculiar Crimes Unit. I'm sticking around out of affection only. "

    " Enjoyable! Not so gripping that I need to rush out and read the other books in the series just yet, but when I want another slowish, atmospheric crime novel with amusing dialogue and pleasantly eccentric characters I'll definitely head back to book 1 and meander through. "
