CITY OF THE DEAD Alex Delaware, Book 37

John Rubinstein demonstrates his narration talents once again as he portrays the crime-solving duo of psychologist Alex Delaware and detective Milo Sturgis. Rubinstein also masterfully differentiates the returning secondary characters and provides credible voices for the many others who are key to this case, including children. Sturgis asks Delaware to consult on an investigation involving the death of a young, naked man who was hit by a moving van and the murder of a woman living nearby whom Delaware recognizes from one of his former custody cases. Series fans will enjoy the back-and-forth between the detective and the psychologist as they puzzle out the possible scenarios while navigating L.A .traffic. Although the resolution of the central murder case seems a bit contrived, listeners will find much to appreciate. E.Q. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2022]
