MIND'S EYE

The novel that launched the successful Inspector Van Veeteren series is narrated by the stellar Simon Vance. He brings a refined touch to the story of Janek Mitter, a man who awakens one morning with no memory of the night before to find his wife dead in the bathtub. The case falls to Van Veeteren, who is known for closing cases by following his instincts, and he continues to investigate the confounding murder even after a conviction takes place. Vance's authentic pronunciations and deft emotional nuances provide a worthy listening experience that is perfect for fans of Scandinavian mysteries.
