About this listen

Wolf Hadda's life was a fairytale - successful businessman and adored husband. But a knock on the door one morning ends it all. Universally reviled, thrown into prison, Wolf retreats into silence. Seven years later Wolf begins to talk to the prison psychiatrist and receives parole to return home. But there's a mysterious period in Wolf's past when he was known as the Woodcutter. Now the Woodcutter is back, looking for truth and revenge...

This is so far, the best audible book I have listened too. Mainly the narrator and his skill. Listen and you will understand. A very very talented man, i am now looking for more books narrated by Jonathan Keeble.

As for the story, very addictive listening, twists and turns all the way, I could not stop listening. I cannot recommend this book enough.

This audio book has everything going for it; intelligent writing, interesting plot, great characterisations all enhanced by probably the best narrator, Jonathan Keeble. Keeble's ability to hit on the right voice for each of the characters added to the fascinating and utterly believable plot which kept me glued to my i-pod. In fact I think I became quite anti-social during the duration and was sorry when it had finished.

CRACKING PLOT & FABULOUS NARRATOR

in prisons and probation. Insightful and realistic. Absorbing read well read by a skilled narrator.

A good listen especially for those working

Have never read Hill before, not even heard of him actually. The review sounded to my liking and thought to give it a go. Hill has a story spread over four periods of a mans life. Darting back and forth over 4 decades of fabulously simple highs to terribly vicious lows. A bit of Bond in there perhaps, a smidge more Lovejoy (the books not the pale imitation TV show). The story kept me going for the majority and near the end where I felt I had all the answers, it turns out I didn't. Well read by Keeble, some very good characters, I liked Hollins (bless him) haha. So we have greed, betrayal, revenge, not as violent as it maybe deserved to be. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend as easy to listen to and easy enough to keep up. Ideal for queues in airports.
