I got the first copy at a library sale in mid-Wisconsin, but sight reading is a problem for me, so I was delighted when it went on audio sale! I had read the first few chapters but went back to the beginning and was glad that I did.
It was great reading about professional law enforcement that was not in LA or NYC but on the snooty neighborhoods of London and even to the Outback of Western Australia as they did a lot more than due diligence on this VERY convoluted group of murder investigations.
Narration by Damian Lynch was very Jack Webb/Joe Friday, and that's a good thing!
