What a duo!
There are some combinations of author/narrator which are just perfect. This is one of them. So much emotion expressed through the writing and telling.

Brilliant read of a great story
I always enjoy Michael Kitchen’s understated style. He is very easy to listen to. This was also a gripping story with lots of plot twists. I thoroughly recommend it.

Not what I expected
Well, this is the second Robert Goddard novel I've listened to now, read by the excellent Michael Kitchen. Goddard obviously has an interest in the spiritual world, as is evident in the two books I've listened to. I have wondered sometimes if Michael Kitchen felt just a little embarrassed when reading certain lines (I don't think dialogue is Goddard's strength), however, as an actor he has the ability to transport the listener into a make-believe world. This particular make-believe world sometimes verges on the Mills and Boon but is entertaining nonetheless simply listening to the narrator tell the story.

Excellent reading of a well crafted story
One of the best Audible books I have heard. A sensitive reading of a story that maintains a focus on the photographic core.

Got better after a confusing start
For those of you like me that feel like giving up, hang on in there. I very nearly returned this as I was finding it a very difficult read. It seemed a lot of farcical nonsense at first. The only thing that kept me going was the fact that I really couldn’t imagine Michael Kitchen giving his name to something so bad. It did improve with lots of twists and turns. Very different to anything I have read before. I did in fact enjoy it despite my reservations

Michael Kitchen’s Narration
I found this book too long, but Michael Kitchen’s narration kept me listening. It was superb.

Not my favourite but worth a listen
I enjoyed the beginning of this book more than the end which, intentionally unresolved, felt slightly annoying. The chapters written further in the past didn't feel as authentic as when the author writes about the turn of the century in other novels and were a tad too bodice-ripping for me. However it was so beautifully read by Michael Kitchen, as always, that it made it worth the listen.
