Christine Morris has been sent to Edinburgh to attend a conference on the latest in police methodology. There she is tracked down by the Northern Constabulary, Stornoway, Outer Hebrides, who inform her that her estranged mother has been involved in a vehicular homicide and has gone missing.

Reluctantly, Christine agrees to fly up to Stornoway, where her mother was last seen. Her arrival is followed by the suspicious death of one of the islanders. What unfolds is a deepening involvement in the life of the community, an unexpected reconnection with her mother, and a nefarious plot against one of the young princes, who is planning a visit to the island.

Set against the backdrop of a breathtaking landscape and a people who are fiercely proud of their traditional way of life, Does Your Mother Know? races along to a galloping finish in this complex tale of suspense.

Editör yorumları

While Christine Morris is in Edinburgh for a conference, she learns that her estranged mother is missing and a murder suspect. So begins this Canadian crime writer's well-crafted mystery. Does Your Mother Know is part of Maureen Jennings' Christine Morris Mystery series. Caroline Shaffer's performance is gifted. She handles Scottish accents with aplomb, bringing to life the already vivid characters. Her pacing is gentle and her voice both sweet and earnest. Shaffer is a breeze to listen to, even for 10 hours.

The overall story was ok and reasonably entertaining. However, I do feel compelled to mention the hysterical Scottish accent which was a constant distraction

The narration

I nearly stopped listening but the storyline just about held me but the accents were awful!

Great story- rubbish accents

This could have been a good book, but a priggish main character who veers from side to side let it down. The reading was superficially OK, but in different parts of the book, she manages to get Scots, London, Irish and Yorkshire accents mixed up - sometimes mid-conversation.

It is not helped by Scots using terms (realtor?????) that are never heard and an inability of the reader to pronounce every day words or terms. As a simple example, (and I have not read the text) - was Maclean really spelt McCleen? And does she know what a Procurator Fiscal is or how to pronounce it?

Promising but flawed

Despite the awful accents and dreadful pronunciation of the narrator I really enjoyed the story. Such a shame but really ......"Scottish accent?" More Irish with a splash of cockney and brummie. And surely she could have worked out how to pronounce Procurator and Nissan correctly.
I think it says a lot for the story that I persevered until the end. However, I would recommend that you get the book rather than the audible version

Good story ruined by awful narration

An intriguing story that has you hooked from start to finish. It gives you that curiosity to see wats in the next chapter.

Well narrated that also kept my interest.

A lovely book for winter nights
