    When Barry Fairweather dies unexpectedly in his early 40s, the little town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils.... Pagford is not what it at first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the town's council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen.

    What made the experience of listening to The Casual Vacancy the most enjoyable?

    The story and the way the writer understood them and was able to convey them


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Barry Fairbrother. He seemed to be the only truly compassionate person in the story.


    What about Tom Hollander’s performance did you like?

    Pleasing voice. He didn't try too hard to do different accents etc.


    If you could rename The Casual Vacancy, what would you call it?

    Name is perfect.


    Any additional comments?

    J K Rowling is a wonderful writer.

    For the last decade, Nina Hazlitt has been ready to hear the worst about her daughter's disappearance. But with no sightings, no body, and no suspect, the police investigation ground to a halt long ago, and Nina's pleas to the cold case department have led her nowhere. Until she meets the newest member of the team: former Detective John Rebus. Rebus has never shied away from lost causes - one of the many ways he managed to antagonize his bosses when he was on the force. Now he's back as a retired civilian, reviewing abandoned files.

    If you could sum up Standing in Another Man's Grave in three words, what would they be?

    everything is connected


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    pretty much, always wondering if "complaints" were going to give the detective a problem






    Have you listened to any of James Macpherson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    no


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    detective's connection with his daughter at the end

Stocking a cargo ship with the finest scientists and engineers, he builds a flawless expedition. But from the first approach to the meteorite, people begin to die....

    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Would definitely recommend this audiobook. Didn't want it to end. And it may not have. I sense a sequel.

    Temperance Brennan has been asked to examine the corpses of three dead babies in Montreal. It’s a difficult assignment, complicated further by the fact that her long-time flame Detective Ryan is investigating the infants’ mother, a former (and possibly current) prostitute. When the woman flees to Edmonton, the investigation is joined by Royal Canadian Mounted Police sergeant with whom Tempe had an ill-advised fling over a decade earlier. The dissonant team heads to remotest Yellowknife - mining country - to pursue an ever more sinister trail.

    Linda says: "Temperance Brennan lives up to my expectations"
    "Too much detail?"

    If you could sum up Bones Are Forever in three words, what would they be?

    Suspenseful, interesting, occasionally tedious


    Any additional comments?

    There was a little too much information about gold mining. It got a little tedious.
