Goodbye Calais Club: Totally Addictive Crime Fiction (A DC Holly Towns Murder Mystery)

De: Anne Shillolo

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Nothing can shake a city to its core like the killing of a serving police officer. Especially when another murder swiftly follows.

Was the death a tragic accident? Or was it payback? Was the officer in over his head with the local underworld? Or was his death a personal and permanent message?

The investigation is entwined with an arson attack that destroys the landmark Calais Club, and DC Holly Towns and the rest of the Port Alma CIU team are divided.

Holly runs the risk of alienating her only ally, not to mention her new boss. Her vision of the crime and its origins are different than theirs, but there’s no way she can investigate on her own. Or is there? But, if one officer was killed for crossing a line, will Holly be next?

At the same time, she has to fight to focus on the case, as events from her distant past loom large in the present day.

Goodbye Calais Club will take you on a tightrope walk over a torrent of clues, villains, and hidden threats. Port Alma may never be the same.

If you like complex characters, twisty plots, and a fast-paced story, the Goodbye… series is for you.

Very Good!

First, let me say how much I HATE most Virtual Voice audiobooks but these Holly Towns Canadian mysteries are actually very good. The Virtual Voice does have a few mispronunciations but they're not very annoying. The author is refreshingly clean in a world of books with the F-word in every paragraph. These books have a mild romantic background story that carries thru every book, which I prefer. They're clean, non-offensive and entertainingly pleasant listening. Nobody gets dismembered and no sickening descriptions of violent beatings. I usually only listen to modern British/Scottish/Irish murder mysteries with excellent human voice narration (think Angus King) so this is rare praise, coming from me. If you've been resisting Virtual Voice books, as I have, I urge you to give these a try. And right now, they're almost all free (only two require a credit) so you're not risking anything by trying one!
