Gently to the Summit

by Alan Hunter (Cassell, 1961); audiobook read by Andrew Wincott (Magna House, 2014)

Gently is an outlier in detective fiction, focussing less on clues and procedure and more on the resonance of each mystery. Hunter gives him a brooding melancholy and an almost mystical approach to interviewing persons of interest. Wincott’s reading captures the spirit.

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.
