The much-anticipated homicide trial for the fentanyl murders was going forward, but Doyle couldn’t shake the feeling that they’d overlooked an important suspect, along the way. It may have been because Acton was being more secretive than his usual and was taking great pains to keep his wedded wife away from the trial and away from the evidence that would be presented.

During intermission at the famed La Fenice opera house in Venice, Italy, a notoriously difficult and widely disliked German conductor is poisoned—and suspects abound. Guido Brunetti, a native Venetian, sets out to unravel the mystery behind the high-profile murder. To do so, he calls on his knowledge of Venice, its culture, and its dirty politics. Along the way, he finds the crime may have roots going back decades—and that revenge, corruption, and even Italian cuisine may play a role.

The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail.

Publisher's Summary
When his longtime nemesis, the amphetamine-juiced killer known as "Upper" North, is spotted in England, Detective Chief Inspector Brock is on the trail. His manhunt centers on Silvermeadow, a huge and glittery new shopping mall on the outskirts of London, where North was seen. Lying in wait, he and Kathy Kolla take on a seemingly unrelated case as camouflage, that of a missing girl who had worked in the mall. But what to make of the rumor of other girls gone missing?
Coming up against dead ends, Kathy sets off to follow some leads of her own - and finds out that going solo can be very dangerous.

love this author - thank you for adding him
I am grateful to audible for responding to the request for Barry Maitland books. Thank you Audible!
I first learned of this mystery series when I was in the UK, from a fellow mystery lover who works in a bookstore. I wanted something with a good plot and with characters that are three dimensional, not just stereotypes - characters that one can come to care about. This series was recommended to me I have been hooked ever since!
If you like mysteries set in London and the surrounding areas, with characters that have a bit of complexity but are not too heady, and if you care about realistic dialogue and good suspense, you might enjoy this series. The books are sort of like Jacqueline Winspear (I can't think of who else to compare them too right now), but not set in the past and perhaps a bit less sentimental and more emphasis on twists and turns of the plot - I'd also say the characters Maitland writes are a bit more complex. Part of the interest in this series is the bond between Brock and Kolla.
The wonderful narration captures class accents without being caricatured.
I didn't give the book five stars because the theme of critiquing shopping malls was a bit heavy handed, and because this isn't "great literature," but it's such a pleasurable read and the plot and characters and narration kept me eager to listen more.
I hope others will find and enjoy these books and that perhaps we will get more of Brock and Kolla in the future....

A very enjoyable whodunnit
I am a whodunnit fan. I find murder mysteries an excellent distraction from the all too unavoidable woes of the real world. But after a while you run of books with plausible plots (plausible at least while reading it) and characters interesting enough for me to care if they get murdered or manage to solve somebody else’s murder. That’s why I’m so glad I’ve come across this book. It’s got all the ingredients of a good whodunnit. This was a free book with my membership but I am now looking to buy books in the rest of the series.

INCREDIBLE INSIGHT
Started slow and thought I was not going to like Mr. Maitlands writing very much. I kept putting it down and starting again after reading another novel. Finally, after getting past the first 20 pages, I couldn't stop listening, and I like this book enormously. I will now be reading the next book of Mr. Maitland with great expectations. His build-up
to the discovery of the solving of the mystery was excellent.

Why this narrator? Good story
The narrator is clearly an American, reading with a British accent. A good accent, but unable to pronounce certain words the English way, keeping the US pronunciation. Actually quite irritating.
Story itself was pretty good, maybe dragged out a bit too much. Overall worth reading, but please have British accents read by British people?

Book was really good. Shame about the narrator !
I enjoyed the book it was well written and thought out. What I didn’t enjoy was the narrator of this book. It was hard to distinguish the characters as they all sounded alike. Plus the Scottish voice left my cringing and also did she feel the need to shout whilst doing the Scottish voice !!! Although the storyline was interesting because of the narration I found myself tuning it out. Sorry. I would love to read more of this authors books but only if it’s a different narrator… sorry.

I really enjoyed this story in which the main character is definitely the setting. The story twists enough to be interesting without becoming hard to follow or unbelievable. The narrator has a pleasant voice, only spoiled by some incongruous pronunciations. 'Inqu'ry' was annoying, but seriously, who mispronounces West Ham?

I'm a fan of Maitland, this did not disappoint
I am a fan of Barry Maitland and his London based Brock and Kolla series as well as his more recent trilogy set in very familar ground here in NSW Australia.
The blurb on this one was a bit misleading, portraying the case of the body in a shopping centre as merely an excuse for Brock and Kolla to chase down undercover a notorious bank-robber, whereas it was more the reverse. A diverse set of characters was well maintained throughout.
Recommended.

Posh voiced cops from Essex
Quite an interesting story but i can't deal with the concept of Essex cops having upper class voices.
Those publisher's comments about the great narration ("Kathy has an expressive, frank voice") can only have been written by an American/non Brit (or someone who hears upper class as neutral). To me it's tone deaf. The reader is not bad -- and would be perfect for the many books that are about upper class people but this just lacks credibility.

Detective Superintendent Peter Diamond is the last detective: a genuine gumshoe, committed to door-stopping and deduction rather than fancy computer gadgetry. So when the naked body of a woman is found floating in the weeds in a lake near Bath with no one willing to identify her, no marks, and no murder weapon, his sleuthing abilities are tested to the limit.

Story
Widowed van driver Bob Naylor is prodded into joining the Chichester Writers' Circle by his teenage daughter. Bob writes limericks and jingles, and fears he will be out of his class amongst the literati. But the members of the circle come from all walks of life and practice many forms of writing, from fantasy to household hints. There seems to be nothing about any of them to incite a serial killer. However, there is an arsonist in their midst, burning his victims to death, and Bob becomes a suspect.

Meet Rook. A middle-aged philosophy professor with a sarcastic sense of humour, an ongoing rivalry with his highly-strung colleague Jeremy, and a rocky relationship with his ex-wife. But he has far more pressing matters to attend to than domestic disputes and academic feuds. He moonlights as a private investigator. Armed with a quick, inquisitive mind, an arsenal of philosophic quotations and an addiction to fear, he is willing to embroil himself in any sticky situation which comes his way.
