Did not think I would get into this series, but I found myself engaged.

Quite a good buy at times intense listen

I have been following this series, and this book 7 would be rated as one of the more intriguing one. Full of suspense with an unexpected turn. Ravencroft still came across as not very bright and weak at times, always losing his sparring with his adversary, and that did get frustrating. I do question why there were only so little police in his cases despite its complexity.
The narrator was good and it was easy to distinguish each character’s voices.

An unusual death

Really great mystery with many layers. Always anxious to figure it out but usually not to the end
