About this listen

On the face of it, representing a widow in an accidental death case should be routine. Sergeant Maynard, a Royal Air Force policeman, died in a simple motorcycle accident. The problem is, Mrs Maynard insists her husband was murdered. Sceptical at first, Charles realises she could be right; something much more frightening is happening at the airbase.

As rifts in the corrupt Metropolitan Police are revealed and the threats to Charles and those he loves escalate, he begins to wonder–has he finally bitten off more than he can chew?

Force of Evil, based on a true but unpublicised case of multiple murder, is a sixth crime novel in an exciting historical series, the Charles Holborne Legal Thrillers–gritty, hard-boiled mysteries set in 1960s London.

I’ve just finished book 6 of the series and really enjoyed all of them. Superbly written characters, great plot lines, all set in 1960’s gangland London and brought to life brilliantly by Colin Mace. Highly recommend this series.

Thoroughly enjoyable series

The narration is by a top man and the stories are well written and obviously well researched. I was interested that I have also come from a family that was expelled from Spain after the Spanish Inquisition and like the character I had a Grandfather who married outside the “Faith” and my Father subsequently suffered during his childhood as an outcast.

Addictive series

Really enjoyed this. One of the best in a strong series. Michaels reliably keeps me listening and looking forward to the next book.

Another great instalment

I came across the first book in this series six weeks ago and am making my way through them. This story was the best so far and I so gripped, I listened to the entire audiobook in two days. Colin Mace is a superb narrator.

Gripping
