In Airth's fourth John Madden mystery, the subtleties of British society and the chills of harrowing murders collide in a tableau of great storytelling. Narrator Robert Ian Mackenzie drapes the ambiance of post-WWII Britain around his listeners like a curtain, blocking out the hustle and bustle of the present. His pacing allows him to emphasize the language of Airth's gentlemanly ex-Scotland Yard inspector. The polite and cerebral natures of the characters make the story's crimes all the more haunting. A deadly yet delightful performance. J.F. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2014]
