Short story with unusual twist
This 2 hour story was well constructed within the parameters of a short story. The time gaps were well explained and the Welsh accent of Jake Urry was well matched to the tale despite the fact that the main character was a woman. I hope you enjoy the conclusion as much as I did; it was novel.

Second reading is even more chilling!
I’ve just finished Bully Boy Blue by John Nicol, narrated by Jake Urry for the second time and it’s even more chilling than the first time! The characters are so well drawn that I was really immersed in the story feeling the same frustration, anger, and exasperation as before, even tho I knew what was going to happen. John Nicol is a master writer of dark and chilling stories and Jake Urry is the perfect narrator for them. That man could make the tv times sound threatening! Although this is a short story, it’s one you won’t forget in a hurry!

Short and Intensive
Any additional comments?
I received this audiobook for free in exchange for an honest review.
This was an amazing book!! It deals with an abusive marriage between a police officer and his wife. It is dealt with so well by John Nicholl and he makes it a lot easier to read this, as it is a short and intensive read.
The narrator is spectacular, giving distinct voices to both Kathy and Michael.

Brilliant short story
A thought provoking dark novella about an abusive relationship between husband and wife. Kathy must be smart and try to find a way out of her awful situation without tipping her husband off about her plans. You must read/listen to it to find out whether she succeeds or not.
This is a fast paced, well written short story narrated brilliantly by Jake Urry. I would definitely recommend it.

Bully
This is a great short story.. It's fast paced and punchy. The main characters being husband and wife they are well defined and interesting in themselves. The wife decides after finding out that she is pregnant that she must stop her husband killing their unborn baby like he did the first one and seeks to get away from him before he even learns of the pregnancy. She devises a clever plot and puts it in to practice, will she succeed? listen to this great short story and find out. Highly recommended.
Jake Urry's narration is perfect once again, his voice is spot on for this type of book.

Short but packs a punch
I was delighted to win this audiobook as I always wanted to acquaint myself with John Nicholl's work. As it is a relatively short listen, it only took me two sunbathing sessions to listen to the brilliant narrator's performance. Having been a victim of a bullying father, I felt huge empathy for the poor wife. The story grabbed me by the throat from the start and the tension was maintained until a satisfying conclusion. Well worth a listen.
