"We used to be outlaws."

Would you listen to Pride and Perilous again? Why?

What a pleasure to meet up again with Kyle and his six year long partner, Danny. Life for this couple is pretty hectic at the moment: Kyle is best man at his friend's wedding, he has his frst photographic exhibition coming up in a few days and their friend Inspector Linda is coming to stay. Meanwhile, Margaret's Passion, the restaurant where Danny works, is under threat. Then an artist acquaintance is murdered. Time for Kyle to investigate ...
The joy of these books goes well beyond the story, though it is a good one: a psychological thriller with the killer's own point of view interspersed between the chapters on Danny and Kyle. No, the greater pleasure lies with the characters themselves, a comfortable older couple with their everyday hopes, fears and friendships, so well portrayed that they become real people. And this fully three dimensional roundedness is enhanced by K.C.Kelly's reading. His voice is gentle but clear, pleasant on the ear and conveys emotion without hysterics. He is the perfect narrator for this excellent series.
Each of the Pride novels is a stand alone and this is no exception. But beware, they are addictive. My deep thanks to the rights holder, from whom I received a complementary review copy of Pride and Perilous, via Audiobook Boom, for reuniting me with this delightful couple. It's like meeting old friends.
Highly recommended.

Another good listen.

This is yet another entertaining listen in this series. The characters are well developed and likeable. I guess this could be listened to as a stand alone but would recommend listening to book 1 in the series first as it provides a good background into the main characters lives. K.C. Kelly's narration is excellent, highly recommended listen.

The unknowing harm that we do

Yes, the main protagonists are gay but the focus of this book is on the murder mystery. So if you are looking for romance in the foreground this is not the book for you.
There is evidence of loving relationships but they are in the background instead we have twisted love arising from the harm we do when we think we can discard other people without a backward glance.
The book can be read as a standalone but is best understood having read the earlier book in the series.
K C Kelly as always does a sterling job with the narration.
