Why read it?

1 author picked The Vinyl Detective as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I stumbled across the Vinyl Detective novels this year and pretty much binge read them. Such a brilliant idea that there could be a whole range of crimes connected to different genres of music – all of it on collectible vinyl.

I’m totally in love with the characters in this book: the Vinyl Detective himself, his girlfriend Nevada, and the hilarious brood of friends and supporting characters. And best of all, while writing this review I checked a couple of details on Amazon and saw that there is a new Vinyl Detective novel out!
