Edmund Crispin should get the credit. He wrote it. But it is the narrator who deserves the credit. Philip Bird's narration is good. But it is a very short part of this book, The Glimpses of the Moon, that brings me back to it. First, I do have to admit that of all the Fen mysteries I've listened to, this one has him at his least obnoxious. But the part that makes me return to this murder mystery is the vicar's laugh, his "ho ho ho!" The series of fiasco events leading up to that laugh from the vicar are enjoyable but the tone of that 'ho ho ho" makes me listen the entire book just for that moment of levity ...
