SUBTLE BLOOD Will Darling, Book 3

Cornell Collins narrates a pulpy war romance. Two men, Will Darling and Kim Secretan, are pulled back into the murky world of spies and skullduggery when Kim's brother is accused of murder. Collins smoothly shifts between Will's world of secondhand bookshops and Kim's world of wealth and privilege. While the pair may have worked out the initial kinks in their relationship, the stress of the murder investigation shows there is always work to be done. Collins proves adept at teasing out Will's fear of the future and Kim's longing for it. Past traumas also loom, which Collins expresses with gravity and dignity. Secondary characters from a variety of stations are performed with verve, as is standard for Collins's excellent narrations. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2022]
