British actress Nicola Walker's subdued tone, unhurried cadence, and restrained use of accents perfectly suits the characters and situations in Richard Osman's newest mystery. The story revolves around jet-setting bodyguard Amy Wheeler and her widowed father-in-law, Steve, a former London cop she's close with. Also featured is Amy's current client, the fabulously wealthy bestselling author Rosie D'Antonio. The incidents and personalities are even more outlandish and unconventional than in Osman's previous series, The Thursday Murder Club, but his obvious affection for them and Walker's emotionally connected performance keep them from becoming over-the-top. Walker captures all the suspense and humor. Listeners will be eager for the next installment. S.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2024]
