Historia
Detective Peter Diamond, chief of the Avon and Somerset Murder Squad, is taking a short holiday in the country. His former colleague Julie Hargreaves has invited Diamond and his partner, Paloma, to visit the idyllic village of Baskerville (no relation to the Sherlock Holmes story, so he's told). It turns out Julie's invitation was not without ulterior motives. The woman who owns the village's largest dairy farm has been convicted of manslaughter following a terrible accident in her grain silo.

Another intriguing locked room mystery from the master of the locked room mystery. Loads of red herrings mixed in with all the clues. Top-notch performance by the narrator. Most importantly, Till Death Do Us Part is a fun read.

Historia
When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

This was a really fun audiobook. I almost always enjoy John Scalzi‘s work and Wil Wheaton does a great job with The sarcasm and wordplay. I know I will listen to this one several times.

Like so many others, I feel strongly that Leslie Manville’s performance was a fantastic fit for these characters. I am a big Fiona Shaw fan. I think she’s a fabulous actress. But for these particular characters seems to me to bethe right fit. The story is compelling on so many levels. The author brings his considerable comedic talent to bear, producing great belly laugh moments. The scenes exploring the relationship between Stephen and Elizabeth brought tears to my eyes.

Historia
When Dr. Georges Moutte is found murdered, investigator Antoine Verlaque is stumped. Certainly the director of theology at the Universite d'Aix had his enemies. Moutte was just about to name the recipient of an elite fellowship as well as his own successor - a highly coveted position - when his lips were sealed permanently. But Verlaque isn't convinced anyone in the tiny community of academics is capable of murder.

Consistently Good
Revisado: 09-19-23
Mr. Robinson has maintained a consistently high standard of quality in the long-running Alan Banks series. I can’t recall a single dud. The recurring characters are well developed and engaging. The mysteries are well-plotted and researched. The Yorkshire setting is so nicely captured that it seems like a character all its own. In this book, much of the action takes place in Estonia. That’s a real bonus.

When we last saw DC, er David, It seemed as if his last chapter may have been written. Not so! With The Truth, the door to a return of our favorite detective sergeant, or PI, appears to be wide open! Peter Granger’s masterful detective is wonderfully realized by the enormously talented Gildart Jackson. Bravo gentlemen!

Big disappointment
Revisado: 10-31-15
I enjoyed the earlier novels in this series. They always included a moderate dose of political evangelism. Unfortunately this novel is mostly unbalanced political diatribe that makes heavy use of the strawman technique. The ghostly thin plot, when one can find it, is flat and boring. Let us hope the author has exorcised his political demons and that the next installment in the Bruno series returns to form.
