About this listen
May 1941. One of the senior choristers of St Paul's Cathedral choir, Dr Edwin Roberts, is found beaten to death in the crypt of the Cathedral. Coburg and Lampson are called in to investigate, and when they get there, Coburg is pleasantly surprised to be greeted there by Arthur Waterson, now sporting a dog collar, someone he was at Eton with many years before. Waterson believes that there may be a connection between the very precious books that are houses in the Crypt and Dr Roberts' work at Bletchley Park. As Coburg and Lampson work to solve a very puzzling case, it becomes clear that there is more to the brutal murder than they first suspected.

A Wonderful Story but....
As always, a brilliantly crafted story from Jim Eldridge. quite a few twists and turns, and all of our favourite characters. However, the marvellously multi-talented David Thorpe hasn't narrated this book. I first heard him narrating the Campion stories, and he's been a firm favourite ever since.
It's a huge disappointment. Without being rude to Alan Turton, who has stepped into some big boots to fill, it has completely changed the characters. DCI Coburg has lost his class, Rosa has lost all joy, and poor Sgt Lampson seems to have developed severe depression, and lost his enthusiasm for his job, and Eve has lost her vigour. At times, I wasn't sure which male character I was listening to, and conversations between Coburg and Hibbert were particularly difficult to discern.
I'm sure Mr Turton is a fine narrator - he does have a beautifully soft voice - but not for these books. I won't give up on the books, though, because they are superb.

Different Narrator
What happened to David Thorpe, wasn’t the same as the others the voices were completely different not as enjoyable.The actual story line is as good as always but a bit of a disappointment not to have David reading it.

Bring back David Thorpe
Another good story from Jim with the characters we love … however the narration in essence makes the characters not sound like the characters if you get my drift! Not wishing to be rude, the narration spoilt the story for me - I don’t care for these versions of Coburg & Lampson. Please get Mr. Thorpe back & fast. For the life of me I cannot think why he hasn’t narrated this book.

Shame about narrator
Apologies to this narrator but I really miss David Thorpe and not sure if I will carry on listening to the series if it’s not David as he added so much to each character. It took me about half a book to get into it as I had to get going back as I found I was not listening. Story was top notch as usual though.

Yet another great Inspector Coburg story...but
Same quality storytelling, with the charcters we know and love, but the change of series has brought about a change in narrator who isnt quite as fantastic with voice characterisation.
