Series: Bryant & May
by Author Christopher Fowler
Bryant & May and The Bleeding Heart (2014)
I have never read anything from this author, or on this series, but decided to give it a try. The characters were very quirky, a box of cats and growing marijuana under ones desk for example. The story was interesting, I liked the way it came together at the end. I didn't really care about the ch...
Bryant and May Off the Rails (2000)
Bryant and May never disappoint; I stayed up late last night to finish this one, the tension really builds in the end and even though I was sure I knew the culprit. I wasn't sure the PCU would get their man - and then I was totally gobsmacked with the twist Fowler throws at us, bravo! I love this...
Bryant and May and the Memory of Blood (2011)
One of the best in this series. Punch and Judy themed murders this time, with another theatrical setting for Bryant and May to roam around. A big 'be warned' for those easily offended is that the initial death involves a child. However, fans of Fowler's PCU will enjoy every twist and turn and Bry...
Bryant & May and the Memory of Blood: (2012)

The Memory of Blood: A Peculiar Crimes Unit Mystery (2013)
Just Finished (54) The Memory of Blood: A Peculiar Crimes Unit Mystery. It's always a joy to read another in this series of oddball mysteries. Arthur Bryant and John May started the Peculiar Crimes Unit during World War II, and despite their age, continue to investigate cases that are unusual in ...
Bryant & May Off the Rails (2010)
This book was fun to read and was a perfect palate cleanser after my last heavy literary meal. I loved the author's bubbly style:"Arthur Bryant: Have you met him before? If not, imagine a tortoise minus its shell, thrust upright and stuffed into a dreadful suit. Give it glasses, false teeth and a...
Bryant & May on the Loose: A Peculiar Crimes Unit Mystery (2009)
Volume 7 in the Peculiar Crimes Unit series which stretches at this time to 10 volumes. Following the closure ofcthe PCU due to a beaurocratic loophole, the volume starts with the team scattered and Arthur practically a bed bound recluse but following the discovery of a headless corpse and sighti...
