The House Sitter
Another great Peter Diamond story. In this book we meet Hen Mallen (sp?). The recording is odd in places but that doesn't detract. Very enjoyable. If you like Peter Diamond I think you'll like this book.

The House Sitter
Considering the unexciting location and uninspiring characters this book will keep you guessing until the end. Easy going, not too indepth, it makes a great holiday read. All things considered a good book, but don't expect the greatest masterpiece you have ever listened to!

Small research quibble
Not a bad story and decent delivery by Steve Hodson but the author clearly didn’t do proper research into archery. He would have you think there are only two disciplines of archery - crossbow or longbow but in fact, as even the most basic research would have shown, the most popular form of archery uses the recurve bow. Minor point in the story but irritating to an archer.

The House Sitter
Initially I found this a little slow to grab my attention but please persevere- this book has a good balance of witty lines from the characters and yet retaining above that a good storyline. Ultimately, I found myself relishing long drives to listen to more and leaving the office early for appointments so I could listen to as much as possible: the mark of a good download.

THE HOUSE SITTER (unabridged)
An enjoyable book and the reader was easy on the ear. Good plot and not too many characters so despite 14 hr length was easy to follow. On the whole a serious book with the odd laugh thrown in.

Twist and turns
As usual the storyline kept you guessing until the end.
The only thing that marred this excellent book was the sound quality. There was background noise through the majority of this recording.

Detective of the old school
Enjoyed it overall. The story is in Sussex and Somerset towns that I'm quite familiar with and I could picture some of the locations.The narration was fine at the beginning but later on spoilt by marked changes in tone at the start of some chapters, at times quite abruptly. I liked the main character who was supported by equally well drawn cast of fellow officers. Red herrings were easily spotted but they were not too distracting. However, for me, no surprises who the main culprit was. Will look out for Inspector Peter Diamond again.
