A MEDAL FOR MURDER A Kate Shackleton Mystery

In the 1920s, English widower Kate Shackleton embarks upon her second investigation, which takes her into the neighborhood of Harrogate in search of merchandise stolen from a pawn shop. British copper Jim Sykes partners with her as time permits. Neither suspects that they will soon search for a missing leading lady and receive a large ransom demand or that they will cross paths with a killer. Elizabeth Jasicki's rich British accent persuasively reflects a multiplicity of unusual characters and suspects in this delightful mystery. Her skillful pacing and nuances of accents add texture to the characterizations, and her manipulation of pitch and tone reveal gender and ages. With so many twists and turns, this one will keep listeners guessing. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2013]
