Never realised how many there were!
I 'd caught the occasional episode over the years so it was good to listen to the entire collection over the past week and I'll return to them again. Definitely a happy customer.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed this series.
I had heard a couple on radio 4 so was glad to see it in audible.
One of the episodes cuts short before the ending, but i got the idea.
The narration is excellent, Robin Laing's voice is just superb.

interesting take on a psychic intuition
Thomas doesnt like the word psychic. He prefers to call himself a 'sensitive'. He uses his gift to help find missing people. This audio book follows him through a series of cases, as he helps the police. it also follows Thomas over a period of time as he faces his own challenges and tries to find peace and manage life and relationships outside of his gift.

Excellent stories
Excellent believable characters, you immediately become immersed in the stories. The length of each one is about right whilst maintaining the continuity of the main people. If you like the supernatural combined with something which is well written then you couldn't go far wrong with this.

Nice Surprise !
I wasn’t sure I would like this BBC collection because of the supernatural element . However I didn’t just like it I loved it ! From the excellent writing to the great acting and wonderful BBC production. These stories were gripping and not overwhelmed by supernatural elements . They were “who dunnits “with some psychic overlay. The main character is a psychic who sometimes helps the police . The stories are also about his journey and how he lives with the burden/gift he has. Great value for a credit .

Different, really well done
I really enjoyed this. I have no interest or belief in mediums or psychics but the stories are so well written and acted, they draw you into the characters and plots. I couldn't wait to listen to each story and wish there were more of them!
