À propos de cet audio

Peter Marlin's wife is found strangled and he becomes the prime suspect.

She'd only just returned from an unexplained absence of several months. And during that time, Peter had found a new lover. Everything points to the husband but there's no real proof.

Inspector John Crow is called in to help the local police. But his new colleagues aren't keen on an outsider. And Crow must solve the case before anyone else dies.

Inspector John Crow

Skeletally-built, mild-mannered Inspector John Crow is established in the Murder Squad in London and constantly meets hostility when he is called upon to work on murder cases in regional crime squads in Wales and the Midlands. He displays strong moral feelings, and a sensitivity which brings him into conflict with regional staff as he doggedly and successfully pursues the truth in cases where he is called in.

This Roy Lewis story follows 'Peter Marlin' - a nondescript solicitor whose wife was murdered after disappearing with a lover for 6 months. After realizing that Scotland Yard Murder Squad Inspector 'John Crow' has been brought in and is investigating him personally as a suspect, Marlin starts his own sleuthing.
The mystery is reasonably twisty-turny and Lewis's vocabulary/prose is creditable.. but the book never captivated me.

As to presentation: Reader Chris MacDonnell is a below-average narrator, too. To be certain, he reads clearly and with professional skill.. but with a persistent emotionless monotone.. and subpar - indistinctive - voice-acting.

In toto, 'A Lover Too Many' merits 5 stars out of 10. It wasn't a complete waste of time for free, but not worth a Credit. Better options are available for your money.

[Note: The investigator explaining the murderer's scheme after he's finally unmasked is old-school stuff (very 'Agatha Christie')]
