Synopsis

'Magnificent Black Penny.' Sunday Times. When Penny Wanawake reluctantly agrees to babysit a domestic agency, she is not expecting to do more than deal with the odd cordon bleu or mother's help. However, when recently-placed nanny Fiona McIntosh is found dead, the beautiful black sleuth is involved in a head-whirling search for the killer, until she eventually finds herself in the firing line.

About this title

From AudioFile:

Penny Wanawake, a black sleuth with ties to the British aristocracy, is the detective in this cliched mystery. She becomes involved in the murder of a young British nanny while temporarily running a domestic agency for Miss Antonia Ivory. With its easy plot, the story translates well to audio though the weakness of the text is still evident. The narrator's voice is low and beautifully modulated. She does well with English characters, especially Penny; her Spanish and American accents are less successful. The technical aspects are excellent, including sound and packaging. E.F.
