worth a listen

so , I liked the story line , I like the characters but I do find myself getting a bit lost at times . I don't know if it's to do with the narration or the amount of characters to remember, maybe it's me just zoning out . I'll still go onto the next book as I want to see what happens and I will probably re-read the series when I finish .

Great story

Matt Brolly is a great story teller . This is his 2 nd book I’ve listened to and both have not failed to entertain. What makes the books is David Monteath reading them. Excellent

Brilliant

Fantastic narration by the wonderful David Monteath
Brilliant story and little gruesome in parts, lots of twists and great support characters who all add up to a really great read/listen.
Unfortunately the next two in the series are not yet available on Audible.

Loved this

Kept me guessing until near the end. Brilliant narration. Love that I can listen to the audiobook and read it in the kindle and sync the two. Off to read/listen to the next.

Great story

Enjoyed this book very much. The only downside was the Scottish accent for a book set in England. It doesn’t quite work. The narrator is very good and I especially enjoy his accents in Denzil Meyrick books that are set in Scotland. Will certainly listen to this author again though.
