Generally, I love Davina Porter, but I found her characterization of both Havers and Lynley to be discordant and her male voices not to be as good as usual. Her Helen was delightful.

As a modern police procedural, this seems very dated with no cellphones and limited computer usage. Finding clues by going through trunks for old theatre programs seems very hit or miss now.

Enjoyable, but dated

I'm working my way through the Inspector Lynley mysteries and am impressed with the complexity of the stories. I can usually figure out American police procedurals but this one evaded me. And Donada Peters has become the voicee of the series characters for me. Well done!

Masterful Twists & Turns
