À propos de cet audio
November, 1940. Tom Tyler, Detective Inspector of the small Shropshire town of Whitchurch, is a troubled man. The preceding summer had been a dark one for Britain, and even darker for Tom's own family and personal life. So he jumps at the opportunity to help out in the nearby city of Birmingham, where an explosion in a munitions factory has killed or badly injured several of the young women who have taken on dangerous work in support of the war effort.
At first, it seems more than likely the explosion was an accident, and Tom has only been called in because the forces are stretched thin. But as he talks to the employees of the factory, inner divisions - between the owner and his employees, between unionists and workers who fear communist infiltration - begin to appear. Put that together with an AWOL young soldier who unwittingly puts all those he loves at risk and a charming American documentary filmmaker who may be much more than he seems, and you have a pause-register novel that bears all the hallmarks of Maureen Jennings' extraordinary talent: a multi-faceted mystery, vivid characters, snappy dialogue, and a pitch-perfect sense of the era of the Blitz, when the English were pushed to their limits and responded with a courage and resilience that still inspires.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed this story but I liked the first more. They also changed the narrator which made a difference as well. Still a good story and I will listen to the next one 😊

Masterful in detail
The attention to detail is spellbinding. Insight into wartime Britain and ordinary peoples' struggles.

Satisfying listen - excellent performance.
A new narrator but he also does an excellent job - I feel I’ve heard the whole story from many different voices rather than a single actor. The plot and setting are vastly different than book one and yet so skillfully written that Tom Tyler still rings true amid the bustling Birmingham of the Blitz. Jennings character’s sensitive inner dialogues resonate and I felt great empathy for even the most misguided and cruel amongst them.
Looking forward to the next in series.

accents: a bloodbath
“his accent was pure Brummy and Tyler was having difficulty understanding him"...the narrator then continues using a pub-level Scouse accent for that particular character.
The American accent is poor, the polish refugee was predictably Russian. The rest of the characters apparently needed to disguise to each other that they are local!
unfortunately, for a book set entirely in Birmingham, it's a paralysing performance from a narrator who's clearly no idea about accent accuracy. awful
I'm enjoying the Tyler series after the first one but no idea why they've sabotaged it with this narrator

Great story, not so great narrator.
I enjoyed the story itself but found the narrator lacking in voice intonation and expression. I much preferred the narrator of the first book, Thomas Craig.

Maureen's story is made even better by the reader
Roger Clark is a great reader, changing his voice tones for each character of the story. I have listened numerous times, loving his voice. Excellent person to read Maureen's books

2nd Tom Tyler book
I'm guessing this book continues with another story as during the epilogue it ended without letting you know what happened. Great story until the inadequate epilogue. Spoiled it for me.
