Great narration, excellent plot

Revisado: 12-05-23

I love the way the characters have been developed. My only criticism would be the ending, the concluding chapters felt hurried compared to the build up.

Predictable.

Revisado: 10-16-23

The narrator does his best to make this book entertaining and gripping but it’s an uphill battle. The title of the book alone gives it away and the plot line is equally predictable.

Great narration, excellent plot, gripping read.

Revisado: 09-20-23

From the very beginning this story drew me in and after a few minutes I found myself gripped, pleading with the characters to do/not do something. Plenty of plot twists to keep you on your toes and a few ironic laughs. Great read.

Big fan of Will Trent series but this disappointed

Revisado: 08-28-23

The plot line was predictable, much of the dialogue was shallow, drawn out and repetitive. I don’t know where KS can take Will Trent from here but this was nowhere close to the earlier books in this series.

One of the best narrators around

Revisado: 06-24-23

If you’re listening to a book set in Scotland it has to be narrated in a true Scottish voice. Cathleen McCarron nails it. The twist in the storyline is a bit hard to take at first but by the end it works well and will hopefully be the first of many with these characters.

Loved the book, great narration

Revisado: 11-06-22

The storylines were greatly enhanced by the excellent Scottish narration. The characters come to life, and would have been flatter and less interesting without the Scottish tones.

Good book, great narration

Revisado: 01-18-22

I really enjoyed this book, its well written, has relatable, interesting characters and some good plot twists. I will definitely listen to the rest of the series. David Thorpe's narration is superb, I have praised his narration in other reviews and can assure potential listeners that I am not in any way related to Mr. Thorpe, nor am i being paid to write this review!

Disappointing

Revisado: 01-14-22

I listened to and loved the previous books in this series, unfortunately, this book does not measure up. Firstly, the audio editing is sloppy to say the least, with numerous repetitions and mispronunciations. Secondly, the author's personal views, kept largely in check in previous books, show through more often than the claim to impartiality would suggest. I could undoubtedly have overlooked these faults were it not for the narration. I can only imagine that David Thorpe (narrator of Seasons in the Sun and State of Emergency) was unavailable. Thorpe is an excellent narrator, gifted with the ability to mimic individual voices, regional and national accents. Sandbrook tries to match Thorpe, but fails. His lisping Tony Ben impersonation and breathy Margaret Thatcher to name but two are cringeworthy in the extreme. So please Mr. Sandbrook, when the next book in the series comes out (and I hope it will) spend the extra and get David Thorpe to narrate it.

I love the narration.

Revisado: 07-04-21

The narrator of this book, Julia Franklin, is one of the very best. The voices and intonations that she gives to the different characters make the book come to life. I highly recommend this book and the other Mick Herron’s (Zoe Boehm series) that she has narrated.

Great book, shame about the narration.

Revisado: 01-25-20

A story set in France and Germany. The characters French and German. Not surprisingly the book contains French and German places and names. Unfortunately the narrators pronunciation of theses names/places was awful to say the least. Could you not have found a narrator who could pronounce some “foreign” words properly?
