Editorial reviews
David Thorpe’s silky smooth British lilt adds a sense of authenticity to Graham Ison’s fifth Inspector Hardcastle mystery, which transports the listener to 1914 England as the titular detective and his beleaguered partner, Marriott, unexpectedly become mired in a web of military intrigue as they investigate the mysterious death of a seductive Beaux Hall revue performer.

Thorpe brilliantly captures Hardcastle’s trademark surliness as well as his and Marriott’s witty, rapid-fire exchanges in this distinctively British throwback mystery.
