After listening to the audiobooks of the fifth and sixth titles in this series, I've decided to go back and listen to the first four. I've read all four a while back and remember bits and pieces. Narrators who can perform these first person stories, with the appropriate accent and inflections, add layer upon layer to these already rich, intricate stories. Books by this author are known for complex characters for whom the case at hand is a portal into their past and present relationships. The pace of this first entry is slow, yet the atmosphere drew me in and kept me listening for hours. The police procedural aspects are (I imagine) realistic and certainly engrossing. The plot has tangents and some deliver better than others. I found the conclusion to be satisfying and thought-provoking. I'm eager to journey (and it's a 22 hour one) through the audiobook of the next title soon.
