THE GOOD DETECTIVE

Author H.R.F. Keating has created several very clever, entertaining and unique detectives. The Good Detective involves a murder that is more than 15 years old. When Assistant Chief Constable French’s career began, methods to “encourage” confessions were different. Now French’s past returns to haunt him. This case is disturbing since there is a lot of sympathy for the murderer and a questioning of police methods. Davidson excels and presents female voices in an entirely new and believable style. The book has multiple characters, yet Davidson renders each of them distinct. This audio presentation is an enhancement of the written work, which can bog down.
