Reviews
breathless
FBL
a good mystery...I was aware, every moment, of the breathless quality of the reader- as if every second and event was the climax... some even tone would have moderated this.

The reader is easy to listen to. The book is interesting and will listen again
just as good, if not better, than version 1
