Summary
Glen is a travel writer. A weekend break in Madrid turns into a mashup of biblical proportions after a night out with his party loving, short-fused, often violent friend Mark - a South East Londoner now living in Madrid - and his feisty, lunatic Basque girlfriend, Ainhoa. Booze? Of course, and lots of it. Memory loss? You bet! A missing mobile phone? Well, obviously, what would you expect! Your average weekend getaway - what could possibly go wrong?

A mashup of biblical proportions
I read the kindle version a year or two back and really enjoyed it. But it pales into insignificance compared to listening to it narrated by the author himself and his female co-narrator Cira Ugas, who adds a sensual, sexy, provocative edge to this story with her dialogues.
Hilarious, irreverent, tastefully naughty. Richards also adds music and sound effects (ambience mainly) which nevertheless rather than distract, actually enhances the listening experience. Unorthodox amybe for audiobooks, but then, having read some of his other work, Richards has a quirky, irreverent, unconventional style of storytelling, so this should come as no surprise, Narration, dialogues, voice tones are impeccable. My only complaint is that it only lasts 62 minutes.

A mysterious tale that keeps giving
One of short tales of Ant Richards read by the author himself and wonderful Cira Ugas who is pure joy to listen to. This non linear story takes us along with Glenn to Madrid, where we follow him though his trip. No Easy Answer is a well spent hour to get out from wherever you are and take a moment in sunny Spain.

Debauched and dangerous!!
Through the dark and debauched mind of Ant Richards, and his own tones, as well as that of Cira Ugas, they take us through a trip through the dangerous side of Madrid, and what can happen when you misbehave!!
Listen to this, live dangerously, you won't be disappointed!!

What could possibly go wrong?
Oh dear, Glen what did you get yourself into! So close, and yet... well, you should find out for yourself.
Once I realised this audiobook contained background music and sound effects, I decided to listen to it on our speakers at home so my husband could listen to it too.
We both laughed at the surreal, and hapless missadventures of poor Glen. The story is funny, irreverent, decadently amusing. The narration by both Richards & Ugas is entertaining, funny, sexy, and engaging. The fact that a female voice was included for the dialogues just added more realism to the story.
This however presents a little problem for me...
My husband says he wants a divorce because he now wants to marry Cira Ugas.

Fun. Sexy. Deranged. Irreverent. Just perfect!
A fun listen, with great narration from both readers. The male, with the right inflections, voice changes, and mood alterations where required. The female, with the right accents, sexy and spoilt where required. Fluid narrative and description, with a decadent music background which complemented the mood. I really enjoyed this story.

Enjoyeable story
A enjoyeable audiobook. Was a bit weird having music in the background, but wasn't distracting. Good performance from the narrators.

Restored my faith on audiobooks
I listened to this short story during my jog this morning. I almost tripped twice because of the laughter, not to mention the looks on other people's faces as they saw me wearing this wicked smile whilst listening. Well worth it!
I never really got into audiobooks as I found them bland - always preferring to read books and make up my own picture. I'm glad though, I followed a friend's recommendation on this one. The narrations (M & F) were great and the background music and ambience made up the picture for me, all I had to do was listen, enjoy and avoid tripping.
How much envy I feel for our hero Glen Taylor.

Misbehaving in Madrid!
I never heard of this author before, but now I will try and read more of his work.
This was a great story, and fun narration. Enjoyable and fun to listen. The lady narrator is quite good too.

Sexy. Naughty. A riot of fun!
I have read some of this author's work which I have very much enjoyed. Listening to him actually reading it, well, another level. The story in itself is one laugh after another. You just can't make this stuff up!
Well, Richards did...or, did he not?
Anyway, it is well narrated, and the inclusion of a real female voice adds that sexy, spicy tone this kind of story cries for. I could feel a complicity between both narrators that makes the story flow seamlessly. Choice of background music - a first for me in audiobooks - was perfect, too.
My only complaint was the shortness of it. Mr Richards, you left me wanting. That was very cruel of you.

Funny, Naughty, Sassy, and Simply Worth It!
“No Easy Answer” by Ant Richards is just simply funny, a little naughty (or should I say “cheeky?” - yes, pun intended), and it was just fun to listen to. Ant Richards is not just an excellent reader, but he is a WORDSMITH! His use of vocabulary is poetic, his sense of humor - perfect! He makes an excellent narrator.
Cira Ugas was just FABULOUS! She played the characters of Ainhoa and Ellen so well! She is sassy and just got the right attitude that fits perfectly into the story itself.
The entire audiobook is an hour long and it was the best hour of my life. Worth your time AND money! I highly recommend it!

Hilarious hijinks in Madrid! Top notch audio!
There really is no better way to consume a story than hearing it in an author's own voice, and Ant Richards gives his all in reading this hilarious short story. He has a great voice for narration, I was so impressed! It's a full production, with sound effects that enhance the experience too without distracting you from the words. I enjoyed this story in print, it's very funny, the self-deprecating hero just can't help but put his foot in it with these beautiful women and his dangerous friend, and it was even better in audio. I definitely hope the author/narrator will continue to produce his work this way, because it's just top notch!

Drunken Debauchery in Madrid
Entertaining, humorous, and irreverent journey through the mind of an affable, deranged English author as he somewhat aimlessly wanders about Madrid in a drunken stupor. Imaginative and realistic. Very much worth a read and/or listen.

Brilliant
I'm not a big audiobook listener, mostly because I don't find them/narrators very engaging or voices suitable to the content of the books. But I was pleasantly surprised with this one, and it was like listening to those old radio shows with the full sound effects, music, even different voice changes and additional narrators for characters. It's great that the author himself reads the book, so he knew the story intimately (he has a great voice!) and knew exactly how to bring the character to life. I've read the short story before, but I thought I'd give the audio version a try, and I must say, it was an enjoyable, engaging experience. I would definitely listen to more from this narrator and writer.

TOP NOTCH - A full audio experience!! I am floored.
This was more than an audiobook, because it was accompanied by atmospheric music and beats that really set the tone and world of these characters and it’s unreliable narrators.
I loved the story and after hearing Richards’ work in audio format, I can say I prefer it to his written work, as you can really feel the way in which he intended it to be heard.
Co-narrator, Cira Ugas, has an amazing voice and brings a whole new level to the production.
This is some top-level work, looking forward to more stories from Richards and those he brings along for the ride.
