Value for money

A short story that I had never heard of before. So we'll worth the 60p.

Good short story but ....

intriguing but not well narrated.....really poor at women's voices. better to just read the 'she said' than try to imitate Steve!

So short-always wear your glasses when ordering on Audible

I am a long term Paul Temple fan and was excited when I saw this as it was a new title to me. I ordered it without realising it was only 14 minutes long. Not really worth 1 credit @ £7.99 and it was a very thin plot and rather disappointing all round. I am sure Paul would have agreed. “By Timothy” he would have uttered.

Glad it was only 86p

The story itself was very short. The intro was quite long. It was like the start of a story rather than a real story. It didn’t conclude or say anything about what the “mission” had been. Steve sounded whiney and made out to be a bit stupid in this story really. More so than in the plays. I was underwhelmed!

story far too short.

this is not so much a story as a paragraph. I bought it thinking that it was a full story. it is not.
