Edgar Award winner La Plante's fifth Anna Travis police procedural, following Deadly Intent (2009), is the first title of the series to be available on audio. When a twenty-something movie star is stabbed in her London flat, savvy investigator Travis is assigned to the case. Listeners shadow Travis as she interrogates, ruminates, and elucidates while juggling work and personal relationships spilling over from her previous four adventures. Not quite a page-turner, this cerebral narrative is nonetheless gripping enough to hook listeners from the start. Voice actress Kim Hicks's performance is seamless; she adds much nuance through her inflection and pacing. Mystery and police procedural fans will want this. [The Touchstone: S. & S. hc was described as a "well thought out" and "fascinating" mystery of interest to Val McDermid fans, LJ 7/10.—Ed.]—Judith Robinson, Dept. of Lib. & Information Studies, Univ. at Buffalo
With her professional conduct under scrutiny, DI Anna Travis faces her toughest challenge yet as she investigates the murder of actress Amanda Delany.
