A CHILD LOST Henrietta and Inspector Howard, Book 5

Narrator Jayne Entwistle's sweet, flexible voice transforms as needed from bubbly, young American or gruff, old American to self-effacing German and passing Brit in this fifth outing for amateur sleuth Henrietta and her police inspector husband, Clive Howard, in 1930s Chicago. In the midst of investigating a thieving spiritualist, Clive and Henrietta agree to help Gunther, a German immigrant who has fled Nazi Germany and is trying to find a former acquaintance. When they locate her in a nefarious mental asylum, the case grows ever more complicated, particularly because Henrietta's young sister, Elsie, has fallen for Gunther. Entwistle narrates in a steady voice that is colored with sympathy for the characters and an ability to highlight the story's mix of romance and adventure.
