À propos de cet audio

Brought to you by Penguin.

In this, the tenth Simon Serrailler crime novel, Simon must engage with his own demons as Lafferton struggles to cope with a series of crimes that threaten the sanctity of hearth and home.

On the face of it DCS Simon Serrailler has had time to recuperate after the violent incident that cost him his arm, and nearly his life. He is back in harness at Lafferton CID, but is spending his spare time high up in the cathedral roof, making drawings of some medieval angels which are being restored.

Lafferton is apparently going through a quiet patch, so far as crime is concerned, until one night two local men open their front door to a distressing scene. Simon makes a serious error of judgment when handling the incident. The stress of this, combined with the fact that he refused all offers of counselling after the loss of his arm, takes its toll.

In her new role as a private GP, Simon’s sister Cat’s medical and counselling skills are tested by terrible and unexpected events at the homes of two very different Lafferton women. Their unreliable father, Richard, has returned to live nearby, in a luxury apartment for the well-heeled over sixties. It’s not long before he’s up to his old tricks.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Simon Serrailler, Hill’s brilliant detective, is the central character in the great writer’s crime fiction novels (Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall)
Beautifully told, Hill’s gimlet eye and steely prose remind you how fierce she can be (Geoffrey Wansell)
The Benefit of Hindsight evolves organically by way of a brilliant fusion of parts: plot, setting, characters, dialogue... I read it at a sitting. Not just a good book but an experience (Gwen Moffat)

Narrator makes Chief Constable sound like he's 80 years old.

I'm binging out on this series and loving every minute of it. Susan Hill has created a cast of real-life characters whom I feel I know intimately and will sorely miss after listening to the latest instalment in the series.

I'm posting this short review to voice a criticism that others may deem silly, but the issue is driving me crazy! Steven Spacey is the best fiction narrator I've had the pleasure to listen to. I have over 1,000 titles in my audiobook library, so that is indeed high praise.

My problem is how he's chosen to voice the character of Chief Constable Kieron Bright who becomes Dr. Cat Deerbon's husband and hence primary character CS Simon Serrailler's brother-in-law. I suspect the character is likely in his 40's, but he sounds like an old man in his 80's. I have to keep stopping and wondering who the old man is that's speaking and it can be very confusing.

Anyway, I needed to get that one criticism off my chest. Otherwise, the narration is practically perfect.
