Another Girl

A Kings Lake Investigation, Book 5

By: Peter Grainger

Narrated by: Gildart Jackson

"She's just watching, thinking about it again, when a big flash car pulls up outside. No one gets out. Then the doors of the bar open and people appear. Two men and a youngish woman, and one of the men has a hold on the woman's arm. It looks as if they're having words. Then this all happens quickly—they push the woman towards the car, one of the back doors opens, and they manhandle her inside. Sarah hears a muffled shout from the woman and the car pulls away. It's all over in a few seconds." Just a few seconds—but seconds which will set in motion a sequence of events involving every member of the Kings Lake Central murder squad in the days to follow. This time the threat is to one of their own.

Slow start

I found it difficult to start but with time the storyline and characters were recognizable. I think this happens to many authors who write series and the lag time between books.

Another Winner

Grainger and Gildart combine once again for a stellar experience for this listener. Characters evolve and our favorites capture our attention, interest, and a little sadness. Bravo.

Peter Grainger is brilliant

This was excellent. Even without DC making an appearance, he is part of the story. I love this series. Narration was as wonderful as usual.

Always refreshing to return to a Grainger novel

I've been listening to the Adam Dalgliesh series by P. D. James, and while the scene building is nice, it can drone on and on. Grainger is so good and building suspense but not waiting so long to reach the climax it becomes annoying and tedious. The only thing I didn't like about this novel was that it was so short. I can only hope the follow up will be released soon!

Getting to know Serena better

Even though DC was kept way in the background in this story, his presence has so completely woven itself into his accolades Serena Butler and Christopher Waters that their lives and careers, and very survival benefitted from it. Especially Serena in this story, and it is yet another very rich Grainger creation. And again I’m grateful for this.
