Summary
Peter Marlin's wife is found strangled and he becomes the prime suspect.
She'd only just returned from an unexplained absence of several months. And during that time, Peter had found a new lover. Everything points to the husband but there's no real proof.
Inspector John Crow is called in to help the local police. But his new colleagues aren't keen on an outsider. And Crow must solve the case before anyone else dies.
Inspector John Crow
Skeletally-built, mild-mannered Inspector John Crow is established in the Murder Squad in London and constantly meets hostility when he is called upon to work on murder cases in regional crime squads in Wales and the Midlands. He displays strong moral feelings, and a sensitivity which brings him into conflict with regional staff as he doggedly and successfully pursues the truth in cases where he is called in.

Nice old Fashioned Yarn
Great to listen to a book set in the 60's when everyone was Miss, Mr, Mrs. No bad language/ swearing. Whilst I'm no prude it was a refreshing change that there were no graphic sex scenes..all Implied. Really good mystery. A pleasure to listen to.

A light and relaxing murder mystery.
"A Lover Too Many" is the first book in the Inspector John Crow series. I've read two other series by Roy Lewis (the Eric Ward series and the Arnold Landon series) and I love how distinctly different each series is. In "A Lover Too Many," Lewis first sets up the story and introduces the main characters and several subplots. Inspector Crow doesn't appear until roughly half of the story. The book is intricately plotted and Lewis's writing makes the 1960s setting vivid and engrossing. Overall, it's a smart and very enjoyable murder mystery. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Terrible narrator
The story is weak, narrators voice grates, he sounds like he's reading Janet & John. Couldn't finish it, glad it was a plus title.

Terrible
It’s almost like it’s been written for kids and they said amalgamated industries about 5 million times. Very hard listen, glad it was free

Err, what?
Unfortunately, I cannot find anything good to say about this book.
The narration was not good, the story was dragged out with unnecessary, pedantic, nasty arguments taking too much time in what was a simple case.
I wonder how people regard policing in the 1960’s? It would be good to hear a review of the portrayal in this book by someone who lived it.
