Nothing more than that is required to engage Kim’s dynamic determination to relentlessly investigate until she has got to the bottom of the matter, and has helped whoever it was asked for help, and brought to justice whomever it was instigated the need for help. There are moments of mirth along the way, and some opportunities for the odd romantic interlude too.

(Scroll down for other audiobooks in this listing)
20-year-old amateur sleuth Kim returns from a well-earned Christmas Holiday, definitely one year older but not all that much wiser. Her business affairs appear to be going well, but she misses the challenge and thrill of a good case to solve. Just as she is getting truly bored with administrating her businesses, a fascinating case arises, and she is called into action by her fiancé in the Carabinieri. A terrible death has occurred, and the police have most of the facts at their disposal, but a crucial period in the relevant timeline is unaccounted for. As ever, Kim is called in to solve the insoluble. She very quickly ascertains what has happened, but as it involves a close acquaintance of hers, she is caught on the horns of a dilemma, and genuinely does not know what to do for the best. Declare all she knows, and betray someone she knows and loves, plunging them into dire trouble, or does she keep quiet and hopes it all works out somehow.

Having exhausted every lead and route of enquiry, the forces of law and order reluctantly turn to their last resort, and appeal for assistance from that most unlikely of sources, Kim. In her usual chaotic and sociable style, Kim sets out on her noble quest for justice. Once she is on the trail, it is inevitable that the culprit will be cornered and caught. There may be a few deviations along the way, and even some comedic situations, but she will collar her villain in the end.
