ABOUT THIS EPISODE
"I'm sorry."
A stage play turns into high drama when the leading man's mutilated body takes center stage—and the remorseful note pinned to his chest is Malcolm and Seong-Jae's only clue to finding the killer. What should be a simple case is complicated by secrets and lies; as more and more of Seong-Jae's past surfaces, every deflection and careful half-truth builds the walls between partners-turned-lovers higher still.
When Malcolm and Seong-Jae can no longer see eye to eye . . . will the closing act of their story turn into a tragedy?
Contains mature themes.
©2021 Cole McCade (P)2023 TantorThe meat in this one is the growing gulf between Mal and Seong-Jae following Sila's sudden appearance in Seong-Jae's appartment at the end of the previous book. Seong-Jae has known for some time that Sila is somewhere in the background pulling strings, but still hasn't said anything to Malcolm, fearful of exposing him to danger. Mal knows something is up with his boyfriend, but also fears that pushing Seong-Jae for answers is likely to send him further into himself and may possibly even drive him away. Seeing them both stuck in this unhealthy holding pattern is hard - Seong-Jae is at breaking point, Mal doesn't know what to do - and then there's the ever present dread of what might be in the folder given to him by Sade at the end of Backdraft, which Malcolm has still not read.
The tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife - and everything is falling apart.
Curt Bonnem delivers another excellent performance - well paced, clearly differentiated, with consistent voices for recurring characters. I noticed "Min Zhe" is pronounced differently than previously but that's a minor point. The real stand out continues to be his portrayals of Malcolm and Seong-Jae, which are spot on - with real gravel in Malcolm's voice, and a dark smoothness to Seong-Jae's - and wonderfully nuanced. I enjoyed the series in print, but the way the narrator really breathes life into these characters makes it even better in audio.
Another gripping instalment - 4.5 stars overall
