This is a police procedural. During the first World War. The main officer is a cantacorous if at times funny character. His ever suffering side kick does his best. All the stories are easy on the ear and well read. I have enjoyed all five books now. twice! So that may say something. Well worth a credit in my opinion

Enjoyable Listen
