About this listen
Critic reviews
"A mystery novel, but far more than that. It's gripping...Hill is wonderful." ( The Times)
Having previously suffered through a poorly narrated volume, I was concerned following the reviews of this title. While the australian accent is interesting, it's not distracting and 10 minutes into the book, i ceases to be an issue at all - overall I found the narration smooth, easy to listen to and nicely in step with the tone of the story.
As for the story - I followed the Woodcutter here, so was very please to find a similarly excellent listen. Recommended!

All of this distracts from the story so much that it's quite hard to evaluate the book itself, which is actually quite good. I wish I'd just bought the paperback though.
Oh God, the accents...
