This is such a great series. Bryant, May, and all of the staff at the Peculiar Crimes Unit are well-developed, complex characters. The crimes they seek to solve are often bizarre, at least on the surface. There‘s never a straight line to the solution, no matter how twisted or banal it may be.

Aimeesue I love Arthur and his crazy scarf 😂 10mo

Really enjoying this series. What's not to love about cranky old detectives, Byzantine crimes and the secret history of London?

Another enjoyable PCU :) it had me really working with them to figure out who was the Highwayman. I enjoyed the connections to historical criminals. I had to do some googling on a couple of them, just because I was curious. I am looking forward to reading the next installment in this series.

No where I have to run off to. I can finally quietly read while the man and dog sleep 😊
