About this listen
Detective John Coffin must find out who killed the man belonging to the severed human head found in an urn on the church steps.
©1989 Gwendoline Butler (P)2013 Audible, Inc.Editor reviews
Nigel Carrington has the kind of crisp, sprightly British accent that makes women swoon and men admire. He’s a perfect choice to perform Coffin in the Museum on Crime, the 21st of over 30 John Coffin titles by late English mystery writer, Gwendolyn Butler.
John Coffin, police inspector, must wander the foggy streets of London puzzling over one ghastly ordeal or another. The crime in this particular audiobook involves a decapitated head found in an urn on the steps of a church. More police procedural than deductive game of wits, this audiobook is for those who love cops at work...or the sounds of a perfect British voice.

Some terrible accents from the narrator
I was able to look past these. Fewer 2 dimensional characters and more 3 dimensional characters would improve the story. This is the 4th book, but I feel like I barely know any regular character well which is a pity.

slow burning...
...to begin with, but stuck with it. Quietly engrossing, well crafted and worthwhile. Read others!

Slow start but was enjoyable
This is the first book I’ve listened to in the John Coffin series not realising there were so many before and to follow.
It took me a while to get use to the flow of the narration and at times I had to replay sections in the first chapter. The Narrator’s tone of voice is calm and relaxing but i wish there was a bit more distinction between characters. I’m glad I persisted as i thoroughly enjoyed it. Great storyline.

Long winded
A lot of unnecessary detail. Also, the high number of characters in the book needed distinct differing voices for an Audible book. I also found some of the actor characters irritating.

Very enjoyable listen.
I enjoy this writing style. It sounds like a novel rather than a script for a film or computer game as so many books seem to nowadays.co
