À propos de cet audio

England in 1920 is a land fit for heroes. So why is one of those heroes found dead in a dingy London hotel? And why does his war record show that he has been missing for three years?

The deceased is the fiancé of Inspector Lestrade's daughter, and she sets out to find his murderer. As always with Lestrade, one murder has a habit of leading to another. How can a woman killed in an air raid in 1917 be found with a bullet through her head three years later?

A colourful web of intrigue unfolds as Lestrade and his daughter go undercover. When Lestrade's daughter is kidnapped, the writing is on the wall. And the writing says 'MI5'.

M. Trow's rendition of this book left me disappointed and a little disgruntled. While he is able to produce a variety of voices and accents, he is unable to overcome a speech defect ? impediment ? that makes it difficult to follow his dialogue and narrative. I feel a little disloyal to the writer, but I REALLY wish he had let a professional reader do the series.
Having razored my way through the Lestrade lexicon in book form, I often wondered what a good narrator would make of it. Looks like I'll be waiting a long time.
Mr Trow has a broad spectrum humour that enlivens his books brilliantly. From satire to slapstick, from Spoonerisms to puns, from word plays to diction, he does it ALL. This is a man who knows how to write and write comically : NOT an easy feat to pull off.
I just wish he'd left the narration of his series to someone who is as talented a narrator as Trow is a talented author.
