Good listen

Really good listen. Have enjoyed listening to some of this series. Look forward to listening to more, if Aubrey Parsons is the narrator.

Good listen

This was my first listen in this series so it took me a while to get into it. But now I am intrigued and will most likely go back and listen to more.
The narration worked well.
I liked the way it unfolded in two locations - worked well

an exciting thriller

This has a complex plot which can get a little confusing if you're not paying attention. Having said that, the story is excellent and the Irish accents are beautiful. without the accents, the story would be very flat. Thoroughly recommended.

Good listen

The fourth audiobook in the DCI Brendan Moran series follows a similar formula to the previous books with Brendan on holiday again and once again caught up in more police work away from his patch than when he’s actually supposed to be working. He clearly has more lives than the average cat as his frequent violent encounters would finish a mere mortal. Other people and especially police officers associated with him or near him are not so lucky as the author enjoys killing them off or seriously injuring them over and over again.
Nicely narrated by Aubrey Parsons this was great to listen to if you can suspend your belief for a while. Some of the action and violence are rather over the top.
