CRISIS Jefferson Hinkley, Book 8

Narrator Martin Jarvis is always magical. His pacing and clear diction are always perfect. Jarvis wrests every bit of humor, romance, malevolence, and dysfunction from Felix Francis's latest crime story. Harrison Foster is a lawyer and crisis manager who is called in to determine the cause of a stable fire that killed several horses, including Prince of Troy, the Derby favorite owned by a rich client and trained by a member of the famous Chadwick racing dynasty. Harry soon discovers that the Chadwick siblings loathe each other. They constantly bark at each other at the same time as they remain united in protecting some long buried family secret. Jarvis keeps the gas pedal down to maintain the tension, although it is easy to imagine him smiling over Harry's unexpected romance with Kate.
