The Vinyl Detective plunges into the world of death metal in his sixth adventure. Expect laughs, LPs, cats and the return of fan favourites, Nevada, Tinkler, Stinky Stanmer and more.  

The Vinyl Detective goes Scandi noir in his sixth adventure. Disfigured corpse. Check. Grotesque snowman. Check. Headless animals. Check. But in fact the killer is taking their cue not from Scandi noir fiction but another popular Scandinavian export—death metal.

Another fantastic book in the Vinyl Detective series. Fabulous characters that are so familiar to me now. Clever plot and very funny too. The narrator does a great job - really bringing the characters to life. Would highly recommend the whole series

Wonderful!

I’d waited to listen to this while I was moving house as I wanted something to have while I had no internet that I’d enjoy and I’ve consumed it in a day!! For me it just gets better and better and I’m thirsting for another one. I love to listen to these books as the narrator is fantastic for this. He brings everyone alive- especially Tinkler, who was on top form in this one. My only disappointment is I’ve finished too fast and now haven’t got another new vinyl detective novel to listen to until Andrew writes some more. Side note… it’s totally got me into vinyl as well!

Another absolutely excellent Vinyl Detective!!

I’ve loved all the previous novels in this series but like other reviewers found this one hard going. The narration is curiously stilted & much slower than before, I had to increase the speed to be able to listen.
The plot took ages to emerge, this added to the overall slowness & I ended up feeling irritated. Normally I binge listen to his books, not this one, I started not to care & struggled to get to the finish.
I will buy the next novel & hope for a return to form.

Disappointed 😞

I have enjoyed the vinyl Detective series reading the first few in book format. However this will be the last one I buy and I do wish I hadn’t bothered to use my up my monthly credit on it. I have be totally put off the entire series by the truly pathetic character of Tinkler. The constant sexual innuendos are boring, predictable and seemingly non-stop and the idiocy of the character just ruins the books not enhances them. If the next one starts at his funeral I might decide to give it another go, but not otherwise. The narration of these books is horribly stilted and hesitant not good to listen to. So if you want to listen to a book where it is stuffed full of characters spouting pubescent smutty innuendoes that the author obviously thinks hysterical, then knock yourself out and buy it. But this series is no longer feeling like good entertainment.

Disappointed.
