Ruling Passion

Detective Sergeant Peter Pascoe's weekend with old friends (and away from his tyrannical boss, Andy Dalziel) turns into a nightmare when he arrives to find three of the party murdered. Narrator Brian Glover takes a little getting used to. He gives his author/narrator so much character that he threatens to overwhelm the story. Still, it's refreshing to hear a voice with some spice in it pouring forth an engaging story with unabashed gusto. Glover's accent may require some adjustment for American ears, but it's worth the effort. J.N. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
