THE WHITE CROW Philomena McCarthy, Book 2

For the second installment in the Philomena McCarthy series, Katy Sobey once again delivers a strong narration, She assumes the voices and accents of characters ranging from an English girl to Eastern-European gangsters, along with posh and not-so-posh Londoners. "Phil" is an officer with the Metropolitan Police whose father is a crime boss. While on patrol she encounters a child whose mother has just been murdered. The criminals have escaped with the father, who is being held hostage. The plot has numerous twists, and loyalties continually shift as Phil tries to find out who's behind the horrific murder, abductions, and multiple threats, along with the blackmail that threatens her and, eventually, her family. Sobey keeps up the pace, narrating clearly right through the surprise climax. L.W.S. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2025]
