Summary

Who’d break in and leave the house untouched? When Michael and Hilda return from holiday to find two police officers awaiting them, a chaotic series of events ensues. The police have had an anonymous tip-off about child pornography being stored on Michael‘s computer. It’s easy to prove his innocence, but who would do such a thing and why?

At the same time it becomes clear that someone was living in the cottage while they were away, and may still be returning. Soon, they decide to take action of their own, with devastating consequences...

Dull & boring

Couldn’t get in to the story or find it interesting. Not sure if that was due to narrator or actually story. Didn’t finish, stopped at chapter 7 after realising I had no idea what was going on because it was so boring!

Light and easy listen

So entertaining once I got into the sway of the author’s style. Ten over ten

Found this dull

Found this dull I'm afraid. Its allways a bad sign when I really don't know or care "whodunnit" and I didn't much like any of the main characters. Can't recommend.

Quirky and fun

This is a bit different, written for amusement of the reader as much as for the literary content. A gentle, amusing tale. Generally narrator was good, but I agree with another reviewer regarding the female voice impressions - give it up, narrator, it is parody and sounds ridiculous outside of a Punch & Judy show. There must be better ways as other narrators don’t do this.

Silent Intruder

Decent storyline. Well narrated. Still waiting to be flummoxed by the big, unnecessary words I read about in one review. The only thing I would say is that it's not particularly in depth but the characters were good and I enjoyed the story. Give it a go.

Author likes to use big words

I did listen until the end but really struggled to keep up. Story line was messy and too many unnecessary words just for the sake of it. The plot is brilliant, just rushed in some places and too slow in others

easy listening

Not mind blowing but adequate for a short story. Some good humour and bantering between the characters and narrated well.

Funny story

an interesting read that often made me laugh. The writing was a bit stilted and quite formal at times which made it hard for the characters to have much depth but it still worked.

The narrator was fine when he narrated but when he did women's voices it was horrific and insulting. Like what a man thinks we sound like when he's taking the piss. Just grating and awful. Considering the majority of the characters were women, one would think a female narrator would have been better suited.
