Nicci French is the pseudonym for the writing partnership of journalists Nicci Gerrard and Sean French. The couple are married and live in Suffolk. There are fourteen other bestselling novels by Nicci French, all published by Penguin. Blue Monday was the first thrilling instalment in the Frieda Klein series, followed by Tuesday's Gone, Waiting for Wednesday, Thursday's Child and Friday on My Mind.
Harriet Walter, an English actor of wide experience, performs this clever English mystery with imagination. Jane Martello sets out to find the murderer of her childhood friend, Natalie, whose body has unexpectedly turned up in the garden many years later. Since the murder happened so long ago, Jane must depend upon the memories of others and on her own recovered memory, which is nudged to the fore by the convincing psychiatrist, Alex. Walter's voices are superb, especially her male voices (which are notoriously difficult for female interpreters). Her authentic-sounding British dialects, her perfect enunciation and pacing, and her perceived pleasure in spinning a good story all make for a worthy production. Just wait until you get to the ending! P.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
