Murder in Retribution

Scotland Yard, Book 2

By: Anne Cleeland

Narrated by: Marcella Riordan

Despite their investigative prowess, Scotland Yard's Chief Inspector Michael Sinclair, Lord Acton, and rookie detective Kathleen Doyle stir more than a few feathers at CID Headquarters when their relationship comes to light. But office politics quickly become trivial when a rash of underworld murders shatters London's normally austere façade.

With a growing list of successfully solved cases to her name, the ever-dauntless Doyle shakes off the gossip and sets out to investigate the escalating turf war. As the body count climbs, Doyle uncovers a seedy world where fractious members of the Russian Mafia and an Irish terrorist group are fighting for control of a lucrative underground business. But their crooked deals and volleying acts of revenge are almost too much for Scotland Yard to keep up with, and when Doyle notices that Acton seems unusually troubled by the crimes, she begins to wonder what sparked the conflict in the first place.

Perhaps there's nothing more to the murders than under-the-table business dealings gone awry. Or perhaps a single act of vigilante justice fanned the flames that ignited a vicious turf war. As Doyle and Acton fight to not become the next victims, they'll find that the truth may be best left unspoken and retribution may be best left to fate.

Another fantastic story from Anne Cleeland

Fast paced. difficult to stop listening to. Great character development. exciting unexpected twists and turns and plots within plots that make the characters come alive and stay with you after the book is done. I already haved purchased the next in the series.

narration

Perfect narrator, she brings this book alive. The storyline is wonderful. Lovely to see how each book blends together

Rich popo killing???????

Can't rap my head around these characters but I couldn't stop listening! The narration wasn't the best. Maybe I missed something in translation.

Another great mystery in this series

Book 2 of the series of fey Irish detective constable Doyle. Intriguing with many plot twists and turns while Doyle and her besotted husband lord Acton maneuverer their still new relationship at home and office

The power is in the characters and story telling.

Solving the Yards murders has been taken a level higher in solving the main charecters past,present,future.
I was wonderfully invested in outcomes. Author has left the series full of possibilities in next book and series.
