A FOOL THERE WAS

When DC Sukey Reynolds sees a man acting suspiciously in a car park, little does she know that she's observing the first in an interwoven series of events that include murder and drugs. Narrator Julia Barrie has a warm West Country accent that helps to establish the background of this mystery, set in the English city of Bristol. With an accomplished reading style, Barrie creates plausible characters, handling the gruff male protagonists as well as she does the strong female detectives. Her easygoing style relaxes the listener. Barrie’s narration is the strong point in an otherwise lightweight tale. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2012]
