Impact of Evidence

By: Carol Carnac

Narrated by: Mark Meadows

In the Welsh borders, isolated by heavy snow and flooding from the thaw, cut off from telephone access, a tragedy has occurred. Old Dr Robinson known to be 'a menace' on the roads has met his end in a car crash, his big saloon thrown from the track down the steep hillside. But when the police arrive there is more to the tragedy than meets the eye: why was there a second body - an outsider to these parts - in the back of the vehicle? As the local inspectors dive into the muddy waters of this strange crime, Chief Inspector Julian Rivers and Inspector Lancing of Scotland Yard are called to investigate, with danger and deceit lying in wait among the lonely hills and authentically evoked landscapes.

Interesting characters and plot

The characters were very real and interesting. the plot was twisty and kept my interest. They descriptions of the landscape were great.

Great story excellent performance

Lovely setting, likeable characters, and a surprising outcome. Looking forward to listening to more audiobooks by this group.

Written 1954!

Good all round murder mystery done well! Good plot, characters and narration. Think Agatha Christie!

It was good

I’ve listened to many ECR Lorac (same author) books and this one has many of my favorite elements: Likable inspectors, moody atmosphere, great scenarios with plenty of alibis to sort through, etc…

I think it might just be that I’ve listened to so many of these mysteries that I guessed the ending pretty early on. But it was still a good reveal.

Excellent story telling

I'm not a prude, but I sure appreciate these old mystery authors who rely on character, setting and prose rather than sex and violence to get published. This one's a real page turner with an excellent ending.
