I much enjoyed this tale, even though it took a while to get going. I liked the idea of the two narrators which made it feel more like a play. I would have liked the female narrator to ask a Swedish national about the pronunciation of various proper nouns as it became quite irritating. Also her odd pronunciation of words such as rivulets (should be stressed on the first syllable) and Smithsonian (should be stressed on the second syllable) was surprising.

Another great story

I never want to listen to an audio book in one sitting

Any additional comments?

I cannot remember a narrator as memorable as William Roberts - a joy to listen to and definitely helped the story.

Keeps you interested from the start

Firstly this is a good story with some intriguing moments and twists. However I did find it rather slow going at the start. Once it got going it was actually much more enjoyable and the story does crack along nicely.

The female narrator was excellent and gave a nicely balanced performance. Sadly I found the male narrator very distracting. For my tastes he totally overacted, almost shouting lines which did not need shouting, and I'm afraid it rather wrecked that part of the story. Sorry fella but that performance wasn't my cup of tea.

Overall a good crime story with a very good narrator for the main part.

Mixed feelings but good overall

The narration is so bad, sounds like someone doing an over the top ham actor. Spoils a good story
