Gently Through the Mill
by Alan Hunter (Cassell, 1958); audiobook read by Andrew Wincott (Bagna House, 2012)
Gently is an intriguing detective — prone to brooding self-doubt — and Alan Hunter gives readers an unusual degree of access to his musings and methods. The mystery is much what viewers of the (subsequent) TV series might expect, solidly narrated by Andrew Wincott.
