About this listen

September, 1940. The sun is shining, and in the midst of the good weather Londoners could be mistaken for forgetting their country was at war - until the familiar wail of the air-raid sirens heralds an enemy attack.

The Blitz has started, and normal life has abruptly ended - but crime has not. That night a man's body is discovered in an unmarked van in the back streets of West Ham. When Detective Inspector John Jago is called to the scene, he recognises the victim: local justice of the peace Charles Villiers. The death looks suspicious, but then a German bomb obliterates all evidence. War or no war, murder is still murder, and it's Jago's job to find the truth.

I’ve enjoyed this story. I have realised I enjoy male narrators so much more than the girls. And Simon mat tacks is terrific. On to the next.

Gentle special story

An okay story I just found the characters talk too much because the author is trying to fit too much information in of the times. I'm giving the second book a go.
