Eva's Eye

This first (1995) in the Police Inspector Konrad Sejer series is engagingly presented by Steven Crossley. His warm, conversational style is ideal for Sejer, who is always calm and considerate, no matter the situation. When Oslo artist Eva Magnus finds a body floating in the river and fails to report it, Sejer is puzzled. Crossley excels at portraying Eva's father, a tired but spirited old gent whom Eva is close to. However, Crossley's best creation is Maja Durban, Eva's old school friend who has become a prostitute. When she's murdered, Eva decides to investigate. Listeners accompany her as she closes in on the killer--or killers. Crossley's understated narration of the story's climax is far more terrifying than a highly emotional one. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
