About this listen

Whittaker passed the drinks over. “Anyway, it seems that he’s got himself into a bit of bother,” he continued. “A very serious bit of bother.”

“Bother?” repeated Kendall.

Whittaker heaved a sigh. “Yes you know,” he replied. “Trouble.”

Kendall nodded. “Oh trouble, I get you,” he said. “So what sort of bother are we talking about?”

Whittaker took another drink. “Well it’s a case of murder I’m afraid.”

“Murder,” repeated Mollie. Whittaker said nothing, but simply nodded agreement.

Another murder, thought Kendall. Just what I need. “Just stop right there, for a moment, and rewind will you,” he said. “Then let’s have it from the top, slowly.”

Like I’ve said before, copy / paste of the first review could have worked just fine reviewing the rest of the series of Kendall audiobooks that where written by the author John Holt.
I truly loved listening to each one of them for many reasons.
Starting with the beautiful stories and the ease of understanding it all, watching how Kendall grows from an unsecured Privet detective to one who travels the world solving crimes.
What I loved about this one was how there were at least three stories which had nothing to do with each other and still because of different reasons helped solve the whole mess and all that without complications making it easy on me to just enjoy a great story.

Full heartedly recommend this audiobook.



In exchange for an honest review I’ve received this audiobook.

Before beginning, I have to confess: I am a big fan of Mr.Holt's writing. Not, perhaps, a style to everyone's taste but he makes it all feel very real.
Kendall, an American P.I., and his assistant, the marvellous Molly, are in London to give evidence in a trial and snatch a second holiday at the same time, when he is approached by a Chief Inspector well known to him. The policeman asks for his help. His cousin has been arrested for a murder in Ireland which he claims he did not commit. Would Kendall, please, look into it for him.
Naturally, Kendall is both reluctant and sceptical, but, as so often happens, he is persuaded into it by Molly and the pair arrive in a small Irish village, meeting the locals and very much enjoying the chocolate biscuit hospitality whilst Kendall half heartedly at first begins to look for clues as to what exactly happened.

The characterisations are good, the pace slow and comfortable,. Kendall is a bit of a cummudgeon, but Molly keeps him nicely in hand. He might say he believes that there is no such thing as coincidence, but it's really Kendal he actually believes in, and once again it's Molly's promptings that gets him to get things done.
The book is a delight, good adventure, great story and an excellent narrator in Peter John Body's, whose reading is excellent, his characterisation of Kendall himself absolutely spot on and who voices the other protagonists individually also. A good performance. My only criticism of the book is an editting problem, with short but uneccessary periods of repetition which occur in several places throughout the story.
Nevertheless, a book to be savoured and enjoyed, with glimpses of the beautiful Irish coast and Irish hospitality.

Loved the narrator.

Again another great listen to. Kendall and Molly head to Ireland . Kendall goes about things in his own inimitable way seeking the truth.

Kendall and his assistant Mollie are off to Ireland, mixing business with pleasure as they investigate a murder on behalf of a friend from Scotland Yard.
The author spins another hugely entertaining tale, providing a cast of suspects and a variety of clues to rival the best whodunits. It certainly kept me guessing until the end.
