The Left-Handed Twin by Thomas Perry
The Hook - Several years ago I read a few of the Jane Whitefield series. It originally appealed to me on two levels, first that the character would help persons living with violence, domestic or otherwise, who needed to disappear to survive, secondly that Jane, a Native American, would share her culture, through history and lore in its pages.
The title, The Left-Handed Twin, book 9, with it's significance, caught my eye and I decided on the spot to listen even though it was out of order. No matter. It worked well as a standalone with the background I had.
The Line - ”Waste was incompatible with gratitude."
The Sinker - As expected, Jane Whitefield hits the ground running when she visits her original homestead, not the one she shares with her surgeon husband. Finding what could be an intruder, one that could possibly be an enemy sent to do her harm, Jane cautiously interrogates the young woman as to who sent her and for what purpose. A bit reluctant at first to help this woman disappear, Jane is soon wholly on board. Fast paced as always. Joyce Bean confidently narrates the professional Jane Whitefield as you'd expect her to be. Bean's voice is able to change the timbre of Jane's client, Sara, to bring that character to life realistically.
Overall a fair addition to the series. Some think this could be the last in the series. This is not the impression I was left with.
