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.

Not sure how I came across this story with the unusual premise of tracking down rare vinyl albums, but I have rather enjoyed books one and two!

Very clever story!

Well-written, fun character studies. Worth listening from the beginning of the series and the off-shoot is similarly wonderful. Lovely character development without being complex. Beach-read perfection. Worth it, hasn’t let me down yet.

Enjoyable romps, funny and engaging

I listened to the first book in this series and was pleased that this second book was a little easier to listen to. I enjoyed both books, but the first one was a long and included details that made it a bit boring in parts. This one is much better and very well written.

Good listen
