Summary

In this, the fourth installment of the Doyle and Acton mystery series, Detective Sergeant Doyle realizes that several apparently unrelated murders are actually "containment" murders - murders to contain an ominous scandal that could reach into the highest levels of Scotland Yard's CID.

In the process of tracking down the killers, however, she comes to the unsettling conclusion that Chief Inspector Acton has committed a containment murder or two of his own.

Terrible narration

This narrator cannot do accents. It was difficult to tell one character from another. I will not read any more read by her.

Dreadful narraton

Words in frequent use in narration mispronounced, demure instead of demurr, soco should be pronounced socko not soako.

Excellent

When I first started listening to the Acton and Doyle series I was not sure at first. but very quickly grew to love the series. from the quirky Doyle to the serious Acton, the main characters from a strong bond with the readers. The supporting characters are well thought out and provide to flesh out a rich world they inhabit. This latest book in the series, is as expected, and excellent addition to the series. it is packed with intrique and sub-plots, equal to the other books in the series and sees the return of some other characters and ties up events started earlier in the series. A very enjoyable listen, thank you Anne Cleveland. It did take me a while to get used to the new narrator, Marnye Young, but soon enough, I got used to the change in accent, well read and thank you Marnye Young.

Horrendous and disappointing change of narrator

The three previous audio books in this series (which are fantastic stories, beautifully written, by the way) were exceptionally well narrated by a native Irishwoman who brought both of the two main characters to life in a wonderful way. The characters now might as well be from a completely different book series, they are so different. Why use a Canadian who cannot impersonate an Irish accent to save her life? Very very disappointed indeed.
