Summary
It’s the case that could make DS Alex Morrow’s career. A suburban home invaded in the dead of night and a vulnerable old man taken hostage. It’s a black and white case and it shouldn’t be hard to solve….
The two strangers who forced their way into the house demanded millions the family didn’t have and shouted for a man nobody had heard of. It had to be a mistake, and a bad one at that. But Alex Morrow can’t be depended on and the bosses know it. Working this case is tearing her apart and as it unravels, Morrow finds that the only people she can bear to see are the very ones she’s been running from for 20 years.

Narrator was pretty bad...
Stuck with it as good story but all her character accents were way ott and kind of odd. She sounded fine when she was just telling the story but the conversations between characters were just painfully awful at times

Narrator should be working on children's books
Such a struggle to listen to the story when you have a narrator who should be reading to children or not at all. The narration is just killing my interest in the story.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

What did you like best about this story?
Story
How could the performance have been better?
Better male voices. Almost caricatured male voices. I thought they were being played for a laugh initially. Quite spoilt what was a very good plot.
Was Still Midnight worth the listening time?
Just
Any additional comments?
Would not buy any books with this narrator again.

Annoying!
Narration not great. Bannerman and Malky’s voices are not believable. Haven’t been able to enjoy the story because of this.

NARRATOR !!!!!!!!
Being Scottish I love to hear the narrators different accents. Except this one. I have never heard anything so dreadful and annoying. I could not tell you anything about the story as I could not get past the narrators voice. I will not be wasting any more money on this author unless her books are read by someone else.

If Val McDermid tells you to read something....
What did you like most about Still Midnight?
.....you do! And she was right, I really enjoyed it. Good premise for a story, unfolded nicely with some good twists and turns along the way. Author paints her characters really well - love their patter. Hero is flawed but interesting - and will make a good long term companion. I enjoyed the performance by the reader too. I'm downloading the next book in series now.

Quality
Denise Mina's quality writing is brought to life by the reader in different character styles and with a spattering of humour. The reader seems to have coped well with many different voices and dialects. An enjoyable listen.

Disappointing
Stuck with this although it was a somewhat laboured storyline at times. Finished but felt it had all been rather pointless with a very unsatisfory ending

Narration spoilt a perfectly decent crime novel
When I could filter out the unbelievably over the top narration, which had some characters sounding like six year-olds, there was a decent Glasgow cop book struggling to be heard. The narrator won, however. You don't need a totally different voice for every character. Many exchanges between characters were rendered farcical by the narration, even though the text was serious. Awful. I'm going to return it.

Still Dynamite
I love a crime / police procedural. A lot of crime novels however, seem to share the same flaw: they’re stupid wish-fullfillment for people stuck in dull office jobs. So they glorify a hero who never does any admin because it “gets in the way of the job” or some such; & they feature implausible buffoons in management roles. Denise Mina on the other hand, writes believable characters who relate to each other in complex, interesting, all-too-human ways. Her novels are set in a UK city that’s not London, & have realistically high levels of sardonic humour. There’s an interesting diversity of characters. What could be better. I thought my luck was in when I discovered the Garnethill trilogy a while ago. Now I’ve just started the Alex Morrow series and I’m in a kind of reader’s paradice: everything I liked about Garnethill (almost) is still here. I docked it one star for a bit of implausible plotting right at the end. Special mention for the Audible-book’s narrator: Katy Anderson. She makes this book fizz, with different voices & accents for each character. It’ll take a long time for AI to better Katy Anderson.
