About this listen

Meet DCI Cyril Bennett, a ladies' man with a passion for efficiency. His partner, DS David Owen, is naïve and untidy but keen. Together they make a formidable pair.

When two dead infants are found at a teacher training college, Bennett and Owen are given the case. At the same time, a killer is on the loose staging attacks using sulphur mustard. Bennett and Owen must work together to bring to justice a killer with revenge on his mind.

Free addition to my listening library, but I just couldn't finish listening. The narration made the story seem laborious and stilted and I couldn't stand it any longer. Do Authors listen to the entire narration?, I'd be surprised if they do, otherwise, I'm sure they would make more suitable choices.
