Riveting!

An excellent sequel, Anthony. Can’t wait for the next one. An ingenious story, very well narrated by Rory. I found the caving part was chilling. While I thought I had my prime suspects nailed down early, the red herrings led me to frequently question my deductions.

Loved it

Love this series by Anthony Horowitz, his self deprecating humour and clever twists and turns of the plot make it a delightful listen. Kinnear is the perfect narrator

Narrator used horrible voice for some characters

(I rarely leave negative reviews for narrators. but...)
I haven't finished the book. the story is interesting enough to make me want to finish. But I can't believe the production team was okay with the voice choice for some of the main characters. Sure, they may not be the most likable characters, but the narration voices for them are like nails on chalkboard, almost unbearable.
I guess it speaks for the story-line that I'm willing to suffer through, and finish the book.

Solid sequel

Although I don't know why the narrator decided to give one female character an almost 'Monty Python-ese' voice...

Great story - but I didn’t think the narrator was much good

Story is good - very interesting, lots of red herrings and interesting characters.
But - the narrator does a completely awful job on the female voices. So bad it’s hard to hear the dialogue as it’s meant to be.
If the story line was any weaker I would have quit listening

No Bad.

Well written generally but seemed overly contrived and predictable. The relationship between the Narrator and Hawthorne is much more interesting than the thin mystery.
