About this listen
New York City, New York.
Meet Augustus Berrycloth-Young - fop, flaneur, and Englishman abroad - as he chronicles the Jazz Age from his perch atop the city that never sleeps.
That is, until his old friend Thomas Nightingale arrives, pursuing a rather mysterious affair concerning an old saxophone - which will take Gussie from his warm bed, to the cold shores of Long Island, and down to the jazz clubs where music, magic, and madness haunt the shadows...
Discover why this incredible series has sold over two million copies around the world. If you're a fan of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams - don't panic - you will love Ben Aaronovitch's imaginative, irreverent and all-round irresistible novels.

Gussie is fresh and lovely
A whole new setting and Kobna has worked on his American accents! Was worried I’d miss Peter in a story without him but Gussie more than made up for his absence, Another treasure in the series!

a clever Side Story
Aaronovitch has created a rich universe where the is lot's of room to explore. this one goes back in time to post ww1 New York and as always well researched. Holdbrook-Smith does miracles with Voices and adds to a well written witty story that does not disappoint. great fun

Charming variation on Nightingale’s past
The best use of Kobna’s immense talent as a narrator. Took a little while to warm up to the different point of view, but the story galloped along at a great pace. Was sorry to come to the end.

Great tribute to Wodehouse
Our narrator is Gussie, not Fink or any other Nottle, but still Gussie. Incognito he became, ofc, Bertram...
Other than that, there are so many other tributes to Wodehouse's Jeeves & Wooster stories.
I enjoy Aaronovitch's stories, but adding Wodehouse's style on top had me smiling and laughing quite a bit more than I normally would.
