"Susan O'Malley narrates this puzzling mystery in a straightforward, no-frills style.
She barely differentiates characters and doesn't bother with accents. Her spare style matches
the characteristics of her detective, Chris Bennett Brooks, who is a policeman's wife and former
nun. Brooks approaches the task of finding out what happened in a painstaking, no-nonsense
manner, which is interesting but not melodramatic."AudioFile
