THE NIGHTINGALE AFFAIR

Narrator Matthew Lloyd Davies performs this intriguing mystery set during the Victorian era in London. Intrepid PI Charles Field, formerly of the Metropolitan Police, is investigating the murders of several women. The crimes and the clues he uncovers remind him of a series of cases he was involved in the Crimea, when strong-willed, no-nonsense Florence Nightingale and her scrupulous nurses were stalked by a relentless serial killer. The self-assured Field, whom Davies voices as being from London, must sort through a multitude of suspects before the killer strikes out at the nurses again. Davies struggles with differentiating British characters, his sotto voce delivery is inaudible, and Turkish and Italian characters often mumble. Sound levels are uneven throughout.
