An avid reader & new to Audible books, I found this author a great story teller . Surprised that I've not come across Peter May before, as prier to my detreating sight I read at least on or two novels each week; although mostly far cheaper paperbacks!

My forth Audible Book in under a month.

Peter Forbes has to be the best narrator ever . He brings life and colour to every word that Peter May writes. I can't fault either. Peter May's writing is alive, descriptive, real .. Together they are a formidable team.
I haven't listened to a bad book yet and feel totally immersed in the tales.
His Scottish based novels take me back to a childhood I'd forgotten, words spoken I didn't realise I had forgotten.
Simply spellbinding.
The good old fashioned prose and exceptional narration leave me looking forward to new chapter.
You won't be disappointed.
