From the outside, Glenfarach looks like a quaint, sleepy village, nestled in the heart of Cairngorms National Park, but things aren't what they seem. The place is thick with security cameras, and there's a strict nine o'clock curfew, because Glenfarach is the last safe haven for people who've served their sentences but can't be safely released into the general population. For Detective Constable Edward Reekie, this was supposed to be a simple delivery job—drive his new boss up to HMP Grampian and collect Marky Bishop, take him to Glenfarach, then head back home again.

As always Stuart McBride tells a riveting, grim, twisty and bleakly funny story. Excellent performance from both readers.

Slough House is Jackson Lamb’s kingdom; a dumping ground for members of the intelligence service who’ve screwed up: left a secret file on a train, blown surveillance, or become drunkenly unreliable. They’re the service’s poor relations – the slow horses – and bitterest among them is River Cartwright, whose days are spent transcribing mobile phone conversations.

Reject spies win the day
Revisado: 12-25-17
Wonderfully written and beautifully performed. A clever, gripping and very funny story of sidelined spies.

When a worker goes missing from a North Sea gas platform, there seem to be just two possible explanations - it was a tragic accident or a suicide. It does not take Smith and his detectives long, however, to discover that James Bell led a double life back onshore in Kings Lake, a life complicated enough to make him at least one dangerous enemy. Before the case can be unraveled, Smith must get a new team working together.

Excellent and funny crime novel
Revisado: 07-29-17
An intriguing, perceptive and very well written police procedural and if you have a dry sense of humour, it is often very, very funny.
The reader does a great job bringing the drama and humour to life, except for one little thing. He can't have watched much British crime TV, the acronym for Scene of Crime Officers (SOCO) is pronounced sock-oh not ess-oh-see-oh.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Neal Stephenson is continually rocking the literary world with his brazen and brilliant fictional creations - whether he’s reimagining the past (The Baroque Cycle), inventing the future (Snow Crash), or both (Cryptonomicon).

A thinking mans thriller
Revisado: 10-22-16
What made the experience of listening to Reamde the most enjoyable?
It's astonishing that Neal Stephenson can so wonderfully orchestrate a story of this size and depth and keep your interest the whole way. The narration was excellent, no small achievement given the number of character.
What did you like best about this story?
The satisfying intersection of so many different stories and so many different and believable characters.
Which character – as performed by Malcolm Hillgartner – was your favorite?
They were all excellent and fascinating in their own way. The Abdullah Jones character's voice sounded suspiciously like Richard Burton - not a realistic Welsh accent but a great voice.
Any additional comments?
Kudos to the narrator for successfully pronouncing the Welsh place name Aberystwyth - a name that defeats many English speakers.

Wonderful Norwegian serial killer thriller.
Revisado: 11-18-10
The usual suspects: a flawed policeman, a devilishly clever serial killer and more twists and turns than you could shake a stick at. The setting is Oslo, the writing is superb, the story gripping, and the narration by Sean Barrett is excellent. If you enjoy the Wallander books, set in neighbouring Sweden you will probably love this too.
