Editorial 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.

The best Coffin

So far this is the best in the series.. maybe I'm just settling in with the characters, but I found this one not too complex.. I could remember who was who.. and an interesting premise. Since this series is in the Plus catalogue, it's amazing value!
