Why listen to The Summer Suspense Mysteries?
Crime this tightly wound rewards a good narrator, and Clare Corbett is a fine match, her clarity and control letting the tension build cleanly across six hours. She judges the reveals carefully, which is precisely what a summer mystery needs when the whole pleasure lies in timing.Because our shelf currently holds only the second story, you can happily start with The Creek, though listening in sequence adds texture if you take to Ross’s world. It suits listeners who want crime without gore, a plot they can finish in one sitting, and the peculiar comfort of a British mystery served at exactly the right temperature. Perfect for a train ride, a long soak in the bath or a garden deckchair on a bright afternoon.
Clara’s verdict
★★★★☆ 4.0/5
Twenty-five ratings is a modest sample, so I offer this with measured confidence rather than a full-throated cheer. That said, a 4.5 average is encouraging, and it squares with everything I expect from LJ Ross: dependable, readable, well-paced crime. Corbett’s narration only helps. I would gladly hand The Creek to a listener wanting something short and satisfying, while noting that the ratings pool is still small enough that I am recommending on reputation as much as on hard figures.
