Jamaica Inn stands alone on Bodmin Moor, stark and forbidding, its walls tainted with corruption. Young Mary Yellon soon learns of her uncle Joss Merlyn's strange trade here. But does he deal in blacker secrets still?

This is the first audio book that I have listened to and I loved it. Tony Britton tells the story really well. I could not put it down.

I find this book a most enthralling read! I have read this book twice in total, the first time loaning it from the Royal National Institute for the Blind's talking book service, and the second time loaning it in braille from the National Library for the Blind in Stockport, Cheshre. I am very fond of any books set in Cornwall, particularly ones with smugglers in them, and once I started the book, I could not wait to find out what happened next: it gripped me from moment one! I do find, however, that parts of this book are somewhat gruesome! Even though I have read this book twice already, when I located it on Audible's 'Classics' newsletter, I was determined to look it up and place it in my 'My Next Listen' folder.

A wonderfully read version, atmospheric as ever and the narrator really brings Joss Merlin to life as a frightening character and there is a lovely variety between the voices used. I have only given this 4 stars however because the female voices were not so good, although acceptable. The story itself surely needs no explanation!
