Gower Street, London, 1882: Sidney Grice, London's most famous personal detective, is expecting a visitor. He drains his fifth pot of morning tea, and glances outside, where a young, plain woman picks her way between the piles of horse-dung towards his front door. Sidney Grice shudders. For heaven's sake - she is wearing brown shoes. Set between the refined buildings of Victorian Bloomsbury and the stinking streets of London's East End, The Mangle Street Murders is for those who like their crime original, atmospheric, and very, very funny.

Amazingly written book with great story and interesting characters. The narration fits perfectly and makes you want to keep listening for hours on end. Extra points fot not romanticising the era in which it is set and especially the way women, lower class people and foreigners were treated.

The book is well written, a bit predictable, at least for me. Read like a Sherlock Holmes book and in many ways it is like a version of that, mske Watson to a young woman and make Sherlock totally horrible.

En variant på Sherlock Holmes. Utspelar sig utspelar sig under samma tidsperiod. Den är bra faktiskt. Det som skiljer dem åt är att i denna bok är det skrivet ur en ung kvinnas perspektiv från sekelskiftet runt 18-1900 talet. March, som hon kallas för, är en kvinnlig dr. Watson. Värd att lyssna på. Bra uppläsare.

This is fun! And intelligent. There are many blinks to detective stories and other literature. And while building on the Sherlock Holmes idea, it gratifyingly avoids the most obvious stereotypes. Excellently read. What a pleasure! Already looking forward to the next book.
