The Reckoning Audiobook

Quotes

• “I have been a huge fan of Rennie Airth’s novels featuring John Madden since first reading River of Darkness and had been eagerly awaiting The Reckoning—it does not disappoint. Airth is at the top of his game, engaging the reader with dense plotting, page-turning narrative, and expert characterization. I absolutely could not put it down!”

  — Jacqueline Winspear, New York Times bestselling author of Maisie Dobbs

• “The marvelous John Madden returns in a stunning new mystery—Rennie Airth’s The Reckoning will keep you pinned to the page to the very end!”

  — Charles Todd, New York Times bestselling author of the Inspector Ian Rutledge Mysteries and the Bess Crawford Mysteries

• “Like the previous books in this almost too beautifully written series, The Reckoning is about the comforts of redemption and forgiveness—and the impossibility of forgetting.”

  — New York Times Book Review

• “[John Madden] is a compatriot of such understated sleuths as…Simon Serrailler or of Adam Dalgliesh.”

  — Spectator (London)

• “The new Madden novel, set in 1947, delivers all the suspense and twisty plot turns that readers have come to expect from this popular series.”

  — Booklist

• “John Madden comes out of retirement in post-World War II Britain to help solve a case from his past…Although the exposition, interspersed with scenes from Madden’s domestic life, is leisurely, momentum builds to a satisfying ending. Madden’s fourth case maintains Airth’s reputation for carefully constructed, highly detailed plots. Although the hero doesn’t dominate the present-day action, his past involvement adds an emotional element to his determination to end the killings.”
