Murder in Hindsight

The New Scotland Yard Mysteries, Book 3

De: Anne Cleeland

Narrado por: Marcella Riordan

Chief Inspector Acton and Detective Sergeant Kathleen Doyle know firsthand how the administration of justice can often follow a labyrinthine path. As they pursue a self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner, Acton's own questionable methods may prove his undoing.

The notoriety of being married to the enigmatically brilliant Lord Acton presents its own challenges as newly promoted Detective Sergeant Doyle contends with a series of homicides that seem to point to a vigilante killer. The victims are all criminals who eluded justice - until they ran afoul of an avenger whose modus operandi is a bullet to the back of the head. The key to the vigilante's identity lies in connecting the cold cases and searching for an event that may have triggered retribution after all these years - a daunting task.

Meanwhile Doyle finds herself shadowed by a mysterious figure. After the man steps forward to rescue her from harm, she wonders why he is invested in protecting her. But when she learns he's in contact with Acton's nemesis, she fears she's being used in a plot against her husband, whose personal code of justice has the potential to put his reputation - and his life - at risk.

For his own part, Acton must outmaneuver an unscrupulous reporter being fed information from someone within the ranks of Scotland Yard. The stakes are high, and both Doyle and Acton must work independently to outwit the players before their lives are brought crashing down like a house of cards.

game players one and all

In a lot of ways I like this series and it's characters. The Inspector/Baron is obsessed with his wife. They have sex anywhere, any time.He has the alarming tendency to kill anyone who threatens her. As he was quite the catch and she took him off the market, she gets threatened a lot. A policeman murdering people? A couple playing mind games and keeping secrets? I had to quit this book part way through as I wanted to murder both of them. Perhaps it's catchy?

Spectacular story; outstanding performance

Marcella Riordan's spot-on performance made this already nail-biting tale of suspense literally jump from its pages. Not only was I unable to put the book down when I was READING it, but Marcella's spot-on rendering of the spirit of suspense and intrigue coupled with her skill at capturing the spirit and complexity of each character made LISTENING to the story just as on-the-edge-of-your-chair exciting, if not even more so, even though I already knew the ending. I have every intention of re- listening many times to this extraordinary audio version of an extraordinary "on paper" story. Kudos to both Ms. Cleeland and Ms. Riordan .... and many, many thanks for hours of unparalleled pleasure.

Good but not the best

A little too slow in story line but still good!
Not the best writing in terms of developing a real mystery story.

Good progression in the series

A little more angst than I wanted (I want to protect Doyle, too), but well written. Wondering where Ms. Cleeland will go with this. Looking forward to the next installment.
