Editorial reviews

The syrupy voice of veteran performer Nigel Carrington drips out of this production of Coffin Underground, luring listeners into the haunting and suspenseful world John Coffin. From the mind of Gwendoline Butler comes another exciting chapter in the life of Scotland Yard’s Chief Superintendent. The house at No. 22 Church Row has garnered a reputation of late for being haunted, but as Coffin finds out, there is something more complex and sinister afoot than anyone could imagine. With Carrington’s eerie and compelling delivery, listeners will find it’s only a matter of minutes before they’ve become absorbed with John Coffin and his quest for the truth behind No. 22 Church Row.

Intriguing Mystery • Unexpected Twists • Excellent Narration • Atmospheric Storytelling • Distinctive Atmosphere

I did not finish the book. I hate cursing and the F word is one I will not tolerate in my reading. Up to that point the story was good.

Very wordy and you really have to listen hard to keep track. Found myself having to rewind many times.

Probably better to read than listen

I have read several of Coffin mysteries and greatly enjoyed them, but I couldn't get interested in this story's characters. The narration was good but I was having a difficult time remembering who was who.

Nigel Carrington really made Coffin Underground! Now I want all 13 Coffins. I think this book is better than Coffin In Fashion, but that was my first Coffin & I opted for a second. I think Nigel Carrington is one of the best if not THE best narrator of all the many I have heard. And I thought no one could top John Lea or Simon Prebble....

Great Narrator!
