Enjoyed the book but struggled a bit with the narration. Overall though a good listen

A good introduction

This book was interesting, giving background to the character of Crowner John. I enjoyed it.

A very enjoyable story filling in a few missing links for the series, though it did take some time to get going, I think this was unavoidable because it was a story that had to be told.

Nothing earth-shatteringly original but sometimes what you need is to slip into a book like a comfy pair of slippers. This does that perfectly.

First in series
