What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This charming mystery feels as companionable as a leisurely afternoon trawling the vintage shops with a good friend.” - Kirkus
“An irresistible blend of murder, mystery and music… our protagonist seeks to find the rarest of records - and incidentally solve a murder, right a great historical injustice and , if he’s very lucky, avoid dying in the process.” - Ben; “The Vinyl Detective is one of the sharpest and most original characters I’ve seen for a long time.” - David Quantick.
