Not For Me
Although I like the Ann Cleeves books I found the narration on this too fast and bland. It was difficult to get into the story as it seemed to be read as if the narrator was bored and wanted to get the story off as quick as possible. I hope others enjoy this much more than I have.

Strange Title
An enjoyable story and a surprising outcome. It was a shame that the narrator spoke so fast that it took the edge off the plot

Pitch perfect narration of imaginative twisting tale
The narrator is so good at accents - Geordie and Welsh to name but two - that this clever unusual thriller holds attention from start to finish. The pace is good, a professional actor aware of how to hold the listener subtly as well as explicitly. Fine combination and more please.

OK but not stunning
Not up to Ann Cleeves’ usual standard. Too many characters, unbelievable and uninspiring players and the policemen don’t engage you. Reader needs to pause between sections as they run straight into each other. Disappointing.
