A DETECTIVE UNDER FIRE A Harriet Martens Mystery

H.R.F. Keating is a prominent English crime-fiction writer. After many successes, including the Inspector Ghote series, Keating gives listeners a new detective, a strong woman named Harriet Martens. Narrator Sheila Mitchell’s voice is familiar from various BBC series—and to Keating himself; they’re husband and wife. Here she narrates with coolness and conviction. Her confident tone assures listeners that they can rely on Harriet to uncover who is behind the corruption scandal that is embarrassing the elite Maximum Crimes Squad. Harriet pursues truth with spirited dedication, even when facing threats. Mitchell keeps listeners involved in this London Internal Affairs investigation and presents credible suspects. This is a polished example of the police procedural read with style. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2011]
