Summary
Artist Alexander Kinloch has worked out a good pattern for his life. His home is a small bothy on a remote mountain in Scotland; he paints on commission, from which he derives both pleasure and a decent income; he lives alone and likes it.
One day, however, Alexander's peace is violently shattered when he returns home to find a group of strangers waiting for him. After a scuffle, he is left for dead with only the words ‘‘Where is it?' ringing in his ears. The days that follow contain more danger than he could ever imagine.

Poor quality, recording, lots of background hiss.
I love the books but this particular recording had distorting background hiss distorting the sound!

Poor recording spoilt my enjoyment
I enjoyed listening to this story. It was well written and I'd like to say it was really well narrated, however, the background static spoiled what would otherwise have been a good recording.
I have listened to countless novels on Audible and this has been the only one of poor quality.

to the hilt, a good listen for four long trips.
classic francis plot and hero, not so much horsiness, dances on the edge of credibility, but with enough detail to make you relax into it.

Very enjoyable
Unlike some other reviewers I have no problems with either the sound quality or anything else. Whether Audible have made any changes I don’t know.
Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed both the story and Tony Britton’s reading, as usual.

A unstoppable audio book-excellent
I read almost all the Dick Francis books years ago but revisiting them as audiobooks when they are so well read has been a joy in this currently gloomy looking world.

Loved it and learned lots!
The kids and I loved this. At first I thought the narrator's voice was too old to play a 29 year-old, , but he's such a good voice actor that it didn't matter. A real hit for adults and kids!

An unusual drama
A slightly different dick Francis story,exciting and baffling to the end, a good range of characters, and so beautifully read by Tony Britton.

An exciting read
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is read well - full of expression and Tony Britton brings Dick Frances’ novel to life. An enjoyable listen - page turner as they say

Great story - wonderful narration
Yes, the sound quality is less than perfect, but Tony Britton’s excellent performance makes it worthwhile listening.
