I've been addicted to mysteries ever since Nancy Drew possessed my soul at the age of ten. In the past several years, I've discovered their power on tape.
Compelling plots make for stay-awake driving and suspense dispels the tedium of commuting.
The range of mystery offerings on tape are huge, so I know I'm not alone in my listening enjoyment. Here are a few recent releases that have kept me on the edge of my car seat. BDD Audio has new tapes representing three very different mystery types. Reader Derek Jacobi's intonations and accents are calm, but you must hold on to your seat for the ride that begins with the slaying of two people on Calder Moor. Detective Thomas Lynley explores the death of Nicole, the daughter of a former officer who once mentored him.
