Narrator was good, outcome was obvious about half way through book. Ending was abrupt and seemed unfinished

My opinion

Enjoyed this book very much. The only downside was the Scottish accent for a book set in England. It doesn’t quite work. The narrator is very good and I especially enjoy his accents in Denzil Meyrick books that are set in Scotland. Will certainly listen to this author again though.

Great story

so , I liked the story line , I like the characters but I do find myself getting a bit lost at times . I don't know if it's to do with the narration or the amount of characters to remember, maybe it's me just zoning out . I'll still go onto the next book as I want to see what happens and I will probably re-read the series when I finish .
