BLACK DOG

If you're expecting a "Law and Order" style murder investigation, you're out of luck. Instead, be prepared for a long, slow ride into the hearts and minds of a small British village and its police force in the aftermath of a teenage girl's murder. Narrator Christopher Kay is nothing short of flawless in portraying each character--from wizened locals to troubled young detectives entwined in a complex skein of murder and ambition. This is a true audio movie, full of aural color and vivid word pictures delivered by the talented Kay. Superb production values add to this gripping listen.
