In this episode, we'll be looking at 'Full Dark House' by Christopher Fowler from the Bryant and May series. "Why would you choose the first book in this series to focus on?" I hear you ask (or perhaps not.) Well, Christopher Fowler himself suggested that this was not the greatest place to start if you wanted to read or understand the later books and various characters. In this episode, Mal will dip into Christopher Fowler's blog for the reason why he believed this, and she'll take pleasure in the fact she has very few pronunciation issues.

Fowler's blog post: Interview with Tim Goodman - During the podcast I talk about the narrator of the Bryant and May novels and blanked on the narrator's name. It's Tim Goodman and his work on the novels is, for me, wonderful especially his voicework for the two central characters.
