AFTERNOONS IN PARIS The Francis Bacon Mysteries, Book 5

In decadent 1920s Paris, the young artist Francis Bacon becomes entangled in love and intrigue. Narrator Paul Ansdell voices the painter with light boyish tones that help to emphasize his youth. This approach to characterization provides an intriguing juxtaposition to the plot, which throws Bacon fully into the adult world of international espionage. The narration is well paced, and Ansdell's depictions of characters--males and females of diverse nationalities--sound authentic. As the plot thickens, Ansdell ensures that listeners enjoy every twist in this unusual mystery. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2017]
