About this listen

When a mint copy of the final album by Valerian - England's great lost rock band of the 1960s - surfaces, all hell breaks loose. Finding this record triggers a chain of events culminating in our hero learning the true fate of the singer of Valerian, who died under equivocal circumstances just after...or was it just before the abduction of her two-year-old son?

Along the way the Vinyl Detective finds out what happened to the missing child, and it wasn't what anyone expected - or wanted - to hear.

Awesome captivating read with sublime description. Great scenes of jazz record shops and boutique coffee houses, took me right there.

These adventures are thoroughly enjoyable, their characters at once fantastical and utterly believable. Great performance.

Groovy.

Great story again. Shame it's not the same narrator as the first one. but still looking forward to the third one.

another good installment

Shame this didn't match up to the last book for me. The story wasn't as good. I will check out the next one, as long as the Author drops the Cleanhead nickname, it's worn thin in this book and used too often

not as good as the last one

I have really enjoyed listening it’s a bit silly in parts reminded me of the famous five. If the author can think up some different Plots ( ie someone is always one step ahead and gets implausible in the same way) they are onto a winner. Can see this a tv series too...

Very pleasant read but a bit samey as the last one

Enjoyable

A good follow up to the first novel that involves the same characters but a different and equally captivating plot line. Think vinyl, cats and charity shops!!
The narrator maintains the right level of lightheartedness.


Quirky- a recommended listen.

Book two , is an engrossing tale. This time our hero and his partner are seeking a rare album made by the sixties group “Valerian” which is also the stage name of their lead singer , when something terrible happens to the Cannot say much more really because of spoilers! Once again a clever plot. Very highly recommended

Run out success....
