"Marvelously inventive and endlessly fascinating" - Publishers Weekly

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 Aaronovitch , bestselling author of Rivers of London
"The Vinyl Detective is one of the sharpest and most original characters I've seen for a long time." David Quantick , Emmy Award-winning producer of VEEP
"Crime fiction as it should be, played loud through a valve amp and Quad speakers. No digital writing here, it's warm and rich. Every delicate pop and crackle adding character and flavour. Witty, charming and filled with exciting solos. Quite simply: groovy." - Guy Adams , critically acclaimed author of The Clown Service
"Incredibly entertaining and refreshingly different" - The Crime Review

"honestly the best mystery I've read in a while. With fun, compelling characters, fascinating backstory, and twists and turns that kept me up late at night, I enjoyed reading this one"
