About this listen

January 1941. When Detective Inspector John Jago is called to a house in London's Bloomsbury, he finds the body of a woman who's been attacked and left to die, her only crime seemingly being her kindness to strangers. She's taken victims of the Blitz and the war that's torn Europe apart and given them refuge in her home, but now she's a victim too—of murder. As Jago tries to find out who killed her and why, he uncovers a tangle of damaged hearts and minds. There may have been envy, resentment, even outright hostility. But who would want to strike down an angel of mercy in her own home, and what is the deadly secret that has followed her halfway across the world?

Somehow slightly lacklustre, compared with earlier episodes in the series. Not bad, though not as strong as others. Narration as ever excellent.

I have ten other titles from this series. But this is the weakest of all. Too much on the characters lives, not enough on the basic story, As ever their is plenty of history of lives and events in the second world war. Very well read by one of my favourite narrators. But I would say start with an earlier book in the series, which are excellent.

This was a good continuation of the series, nothing taxing, just an easy listening murder.

Another enjoyable murder!
