THE DEATH MESSENGER Matthew Ryan, Book 2

Listeners follow Detective Superintendent Eloise O'Neill as she investigates a series of murders in Newcastle, England. With her newly founded elite team, she must stop a brutal serial killer whose victims seem quite unconnected. Narrator Tim Bruce does an excellent job of capturing the distinctive accents of the north of England. He moves with ease between characters, and this is particularly highlighted during the frequent banter sessions, which bring light relief to the gritty plot. His characterizations help to create likable and authentic-sounding professionals who work against a gruesome backdrop of blood-soaked crimes.
