    About this audiobook

    After the notorious `Middle Street Massacre' of 1951, when the majority of Brighton's criminals wiped one another out in a vicious battle as the local police force enjoyed a brief stop en route for an ice cream, Inspector Steine rather enjoys life as a policeman. No criminals, no crime, no stress. He just wishes Sergeant Brunswick would stop insisting that perhaps not every criminal was wiped out that fateful day. So it's really rather annoying when an ambitious — not to mention irritating — new Constable shows up to work and starts investigating a series of burglaries. And it's even more annoying when, after Constable Twitten is despatched to the theatre for the night, he sits next to a vicious theatre critic who is promptly shot dead part way through the opening night of a new play. It seems Brighton may be in need of a police force after all...

      It’s a mystery to me why Sidney Lumet’s other corrupt-cops drama is so underseen. I mean, everybody’s heard of Serpico, even if they haven’t watched it, and those who have tout it as a classic. But mention the vastly superior 1981 drama Prince of the

      Great voices, but of an odd story. I think I like my murder to be taken a tiny bit more seriously.
    • 5/5
      Both the story and narration were wonderful. Laugh out loud funny in places.
