Old guilts come together

Revisado: 11-30-16

The performer of this audiobook sounds like a 20 something-year-old man just as the narrator of the book. The mystery has many twists and turns. As with many mysteries some suspension of disbelief is required. It is especially required in this book due to the young age and inexperience of the sleuths. The story was filled with many social issues and Vietnam popped it hoary head up.

Another feminist London detective novel?

Revisado: 03-19-16

This audible presentation had all the appropriate English voices and words. Mysteries with the protagonist being a woman are very popular these days. Efforts to portray the detective as a feminist are also quite common but in this case I thought the effort at feminism fell quite short. The effort to present the psychology of several of the major characters was very good I thought.
