4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting read, September 23, 2000

This review is from: Running Scared (Paperback)

This author has developed the Fran Varady character over three novels. Fran is a young, feisty homeless person who seems to thrive on being alone and a loner. The plotting here, as with earlier outings for Fran, involves the down and outs, the homeless and the poor of England. For something different to the usual can-do, superwomen of female-detective crime fiction, give this a try.

This review is from: Running Scared (Poldark) (Audio Cassette)

I prefer Kim Hicks' performances of Ann Granger's Fran Varady crime novels, because for me Hicks' voice perfectly evokes the shades of Fran's character. But Nicole Arumugam does a thoroughly professional reading here, bringing all the characters to life: Fran, Ganesh, Tig, even the dog. Another solid crime novel in the excellent Fran Varady series set among the struggling young in London.
