Detective Sebastian Clifford: Audiobooks in Order

by Sally Rigby

Every detective series has to earn its audience one case at a time, and Sally Rigby’s Detective Sebastian Clifford begins that work with Web of Lies, the opening volume and the one we hold in our catalogue. It is a substantial start at 9 hours and 17 minutes, and the handful of early listeners have rated it a healthy 4.4.

Why listen to Detective Sebastian Clifford?

The name that lifts this audiobook is Jonathan Keeble, tasked with carrying a nine hour investigation single-handedly. Long-form crime is a genuine test of any voice; the listener spends the better part of a working day in the narrator’s company, and all 9 hours and 17 minutes here rest on his shoulders.As a series opener, Web of Lies is the textbook place to begin. You meet Sebastian Clifford exactly as his author introduces him, with no prior cases to catch up on and no spoilers to dodge.I would point this at listeners who enjoy detective fiction with room to breathe, and who prefer joining a series at the ground floor. If later books maintain this length, the series promises serious hours of listening ahead.

Clara’s verdict

Clara Whitmore

3.5/5

Five ratings will never settle an argument, so treat my score as a provisional one. Still, a 4.4 average is a respectable opening statement, and pairing a debut case with a single dedicated narrator strikes me as a sensible piece of production. I liked what the numbers hint at without being able to lean on them fully. Cautiously positive is the fairest summary; this is a series I will be checking back on once more listeners have spoken.
