Written in Dead Wax: The First Vinyl Detective Mystery

By Andrew Cartmel

Book Overview

He is a record collector -- a connoisseur of vinyl, hunting out rare and elusive LPs. His business card describes him as the "Vinyl Detective" and some people take this more literally than others. Like the beautiful, mysterious woman who wants to pay him a large sum of money to find a priceless lost recording -- on behalf of an extremely wealthy (and rather sinister) shadowy client. Given that he's just about to run out of cat biscuits, this gets our hero's full attention. So begins a painful and dangerous odyssey in search of the rarest jazz record of them all...

Customer Reviews

Fun read

A fun story with good character building. Almost wish there was more information about records/LPs but what was in there wasn’t boring. Will be reading the next.

Too Much Information

Amusing, good characters, good plot line, just a little too technical for me.
