A Lesson in Dying

The First Inspector Ramsay Novel

De: Ann Cleeves

Narrado por: Simon Mattacks

Before Shetland and Vera, Ann Cleeves wrote the Inspector Ramsay series featuring a talented, brilliant detective—now available for the first time in the US.

Who hung the headmaster in the playground on the night of the school Halloween Party?

Almost everyone in Heppleburn either hated or feared the viper-tongued Harold Medburn. Inspector Ramsay is convinced it was the headmaster’s enigmatic wife but Jack Robson, school governor and caretaker, is determined to prove her innocence.

With the help of his restless daughter Patty, Jack digs into the secrets of Heppleburn, and uncovers a cesspit of lies, adultery, blackmail and madness . . .

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Bad narrator

The story line was good but the person reading was boring to listen. I have always enjoyed Ann Cleeves books but the person reading this one made it a real chore for me to finish.

Interesting character development except for the main detective

The story is good and I found it engaging, but felt a little disappointed to not get to know the main detective a little better. The story may be starting out slow. Aside from that, I really liked seeing Anne Cleeve’s excellent third person subjective narration come through.
