Acerca de esta escucha
Cordelia knows books. An addict-turned-dealer of classic paperbacks, when she's not spending her days combing the charity shops and jumble sales of suburban London for valuable collector's items, she's pining for the woman of her dreams and nimbly avoiding her landlord's demands for rent.
The most elusive prize of all, her white whale, has surfaced—a set of magnificent, vintage Sleuth Hound crime novels. Gorgeous, and as rare as they come. Just one problem. They're not for sale. Still, that won't stop a resourceful woman like Cordelia… One burglary later, the books are hers. Unfortunately, the man she's just robbed turns out be one of London's most dangerous gangsters, and now he's on her trail and out for blood.
Cordelia's best laid plans to pay the rent and woo the object of her affections start to fall apart, and she realises she may have placed herself in the crosshairs of a villain torn straight from the pages of her treasured novels.

Montserrat has always been overlooked. She’s a talented sound editor, but she’s left out of the boys’ club running the film industry in ’90s Mexico City. And she’s all but invisible to her best friend, Tristán, a charming if faded soap opera star, though she’s been in love with him since childhood. Then Tristán discovers his new neighbor is the cult horror director Abel Urueta, and the legendary auteur claims he can change their lives—even if his tale of a Nazi occultist imbuing magic into highly volatile silver nitrate stock sounds like sheer fantasy.

Historia
A weekly newspaper dedicated to the weird and the wonderful (but mostly the weird), The Stranger Times is the go-to publication for the unexplained and inexplicable. At least that's their pitch. The reality is rather less auspicious. Their editor is a drunken, foul-tempered and foul-mouthed husk of a man who thinks little of the publication he edits. His staff are a ragtag group of misfits. And as for the assistant editor...well, that job is a revolving door - and it has just revolved to reveal Hannah Willis, who's got problems of her own.

Two years ago, a hostile Prime Minister launched the Monochrome inquiry, investigating "historical over-reaching" by the British Secret Service “to investigate historical over-reaching.” Monochrome’s mission was to ferret out any hint of misconduct by any MI5 officer—and allowed Griselda Fleet and Malcolm Kyle, the two civil servants seconded to the project, unfettered access to any and all confidential information in the Service archives in order to do so. But MI5’s formidable First Desk did not become Britain’s top spy by accident, and she has successfully thwarted the inquiry at every turn.

Historia
A delightfully funny, fantastically inventive collection of twenty unearthed short stories by Sir Terry Pratchett, the award-winning and bestselling author and creator of the phenomenally successful Discworld fantasy series. These rediscovered tales were written by Terry Pratchett under a pseudonym for British newspapers during the 1970s and 1980s. The stories have never been attributed to him until now, and might never have been found—were it not for the efforts of a few dedicated fans.

In return, Will is to receive a salary, room and board, and training in Lillian's very particular art of investigation.

An entertaining antihero
Cordelia Stanmer is a thief. A thief of rare and expensive paperbacks. Paperbacks with gorgeous cover art. As a college student, she fell in love with the cover art of 1950's and 60's detective novels. The covers: it was like opening your front door and finding a tableaux of your neighbor's dream instead of your parlor. Cordelia was hooked. She may have actually purchased the first rare book but she's stolen all the rest since. She would steal from death himself to get a paperback; this time her sights are set on books owned by a deadly gangster. She will have this gangster's books at any risk, even though they used to belong to his dear departed mother.
I wrote this review because of the reviews that mentioned masturbation as figuring too much in the story. If you are upset by masturbation you might want to give this novel a miss. However, to my lights, It's not masturbation itself, as is found in porn; but, in fact, something not found in porn. There are mostly descriptions of unsuccessful masturbation; not very porn like. It could be that masturbation is a strand of subtext here. It's the flip side of the coin to voyeuristic appreciation of cover art in steamy detective novels. Perhaps the author is exploring the struggle for supremacy between fantasy gratification and real relationships when he tells Cordelia's story. A neat feature of the detective trope is that it aims to be both entertaining and insightful. This novel does a pretty good job covering both angles.

Interesting but could not accept the premise
The author, Andrew Cartmell, is very good. I especially love the "Vinyl Detective" series. And in this book, the performance by Olivia Dowd is excellent. But I cannot accept a protagonist who flagrantly steals from someone, not once, but twice, and then profits from those robberies. Sure, the person from whom she stole may not have been nice or good, but stealing is stealing, and she stole from him not knowing anything about him. The protagonist should be behind bars, plain and simple. I'll listen to The Vinyl Detective series again and again, but I can't get interested in glorifying a thief.
