Editor reviews

English mystery writer Gwendoline Butler (1922-2013) found a brilliant muse in her fictional hero John Coffin, London's Second City police commander. He starred in 34 of her mystery novels and helped her earn the Crime Writers’ Association’s Silver Dagger Award. In A Double Coffin, her protagonist is caught between investigating past and present murders.

Actor Nigel Carrington admirably performs the novel with a chill hint of menace beneath his eloquent London accent. Carrington is responsible for performing the entire Coffin canon, thus he intimately knows the mind and eccentricities of his fictional subject, a familiarity that registers to a listener as eminent narrative authority.

Even Better than the last one

I'm really into this series, love the characters and how they develop. Great stuff. Just wish we had the early stories.

Not Bad

First time with this author although it's dated but sometimes when police procedures are in the past they seem to have to work harder to get a conviction, but this was ok but Coffin more or less told everybody especially his wife what was going on, surely today anybody telling the media and family what the police are doing would get you the sack. It did not have any oomph to it and did take an effort to keep listening, quite droll really.
