About this listen

Walt discovers a manuscript hidden in the false bottom of a cabinet Maggie bought at a craft fair. The manuscript, written by a woman named Lenore, tells the tragic story of a life filled with abuse, incest, and finally, murder. Drawn in by the story, Walt becomes entangled with members of the family whose lives mirror characters in many of Edgar Allen Poe’s Gothic novels.

Accompanying Walt on this curious journey is a raven that guides Walt through the terrifying and often dangerous encounters with this family, whose lives are filled with tragedy and remorse.

Will Walt prevail, or will he succumb to the evil curse that has plagued this troubled family for four generations?

Walt Williams, retired realtor and ex policeman, returns to tell us of his and partner P.I. Kevin's recent bizarre cases involving a raven and the works of Edgar Allan Poe. This is number 39 in the series a!ways guaranteed to make the reader smile if not laugh aloud. Most of Walt's friends, including Mary and Jerry, make an appearance, too. A bit different, though, in that this time it really was a bit too strange to be true.

George Kutch is Walt, the elderly crime fighter, storyteller and witty raconteur, as he has been since the start of the Lady Justice books and is, as ever, perfect in the role. He talks direct to the reader, drawing us into his confidence. And with every story standa!one, the books, all 39, can be read in any order. Highly recommended, as are all the books in the series.

This book was a bit different to what I have come to expect from a Robert Thornhill story and although I did enjoy I couldn't help but feel what was going on? It was less a mystery and more a treasure hunt, as each little goings on was solved by a book by Edgar Alan Poe and his black Raven. The gang was all there so did have some lighter moments but it was strange. I would still recommend if just because I like Robert's books and would love to know what you thought of it.
When Maggie picks up an old trunk, Walt is plagued by a black Raven that seems to want him to do something. Is is track down the son and daughter that killed the father who abused them? Or is it save the wife whose husband is reaching boiling point? Or find the twins that where conceived by the abuse? During a dark and stormy night Walt Williams attempts to do it all added by his partner Kevin and the mysterious Raven. Can the pair find a happy ending or was the fortune teller right when she turned over the castle card, the darkest card in the pack.
George Kuch once again puts on a really good performance.

If you're a fun of E. A. Poe you'll love the book; if you're a fun of rather dark tales bordering on Gothic, you'll love this one; if you don't mind the absurd levels of coincidences and improbabilities in a story, "Lady Justice and the Raven" is just for you...:)
It's a very short listen for a mystery novel, but it's entertaining, full of black humour, uncanny twists and quirky incidents and characters. And it keeps you waiting and guessing and discovering which of the many stories by Poe is going to be used next as a source of inspiration...:)

Narration by Mr Kuch is very good, it kind of stays in character with the tone of the book, adding to the overall Gothic atmosphere. Individual characters are recognizable and the speed of Mr Kuch's reading is quite all right. It's a very well done interpretation of the book.

In general: it's my first in the series and I think I'll return for more.
