An added bonus is that thecase of the leicester square vampire is finally laid to rest ( ) This fourth volume n the Bryant and May series about the quirky detectives is set a month after the events of The Water Room, still my favourite in the series. I found this one more convincing than the predecessor, The Seventy Seven clocks, but also more predictable. The detectives find themselves fighting for the existence of their unit and trying to solve an old cold case with definite similarities to the latest murders committed by someone the media dubs the Highwayman. Although there is a red herring that caught me out for a while, I was spot on with the perpetrator of the earlier crimes and not far off the ultimate solution if the present day murders. I find it a bit unsatisfactory when I seem to be ahead of the characters who are both smart cookies. So an interesting read in places, but not up to the standard of The Water Room. no reviews | add a review
