McKenna's Honor

The Clan MacDougall, Book 4

By: Suzan Tisdale

Narrated by: Brad Wills

Dark times have fallen upon Scotland. King David II is a prisoner of England. Angus McKenna, revered chief of Clan MacDougall, and his son-in-law Duncan McEwan sit in a dungeon in Edinburgh, accused of crimes against their king and country. Their wives are missing.

Can devotion, honor and fealty light a candle in the darkness?

Invoking the Bond of the Seven Clans, Nial McKee, son-in-law to Angus McKenna sets out to discover the truth behind the charges. While he enlists the help of his good friends Caelen McDunnah and Rowan Graham, his lovely wife Bree appeals to friends of her own for a much different kind of assistance.

But time is running out for Angus and Duncan. Friendship and love of family alone might not be enough to save McKenna’s Honor.

The saga continues

Another great writing from Tisdale, the stories are similar, yet different. They keep me wanting more! The narrator does a wonderful job with voice brogue and English ayr, which makes it much more than a story being read for us.

Fabulous! Minor glitches though.

I really liked this story. There was so much packed into just under five hours.

The characters are great. Wee William is one of my favorites. I made the mistake of reading ROWAN'S LADY before this one but it was good to see how things got to the point that's depicted in that book.

I felt quite strongly about Phillip when his childhood was described. I wanted him to be one of the good guys. Suzan Tisdale weaves very interesting stories and this one is no exception.

Brad Wills' voice is amazing. I could listen to him all day. (Wait, I did.) I think this series could have benefited from better proofreaders or editors, though. For example, toward the end of the book Robert Stuart is called Robert Lindsay. Also, some of the narration was repeated. Minor things in this particular book but this type of thing appears in each of these books. Rather annoying. Overall, very good listen.

When Family Means Everything

What did you love best about McKenna's Honor?

McKenna's honor is a story filled with intrigue. It shows us exactly how far some people will go to protect their family.

What was one of the most memorable moments of McKenna's Honor?

The most memorable moment of McKenna's Honor was when the women and boys rescued Angus and Duncan. I was giggling the entire time!

What about Brad Wills’s performance did you like?

Brad does an amazing job of making each character in the book sound like a unique person. His voices made it easy to imagine the characters and get a feel for the emotion they were going through. He was able to infuse so much emotion into the story. I didn't feel like he was just reading the story. I felt like he was retelling a story he was part of to me.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

When family means everything.

Any additional comments?

This is an amazing story. Suzan Tisdale has written a story that shows exactly what it means to be family and how far some people will go to protect the ones they love. Brad Wills did a wonderful job of bringing the story to life.

McKenna's Honor: The Clan MacDougall

Would you listen to McKenna's Honor again? Why?

Yes, I enjoyed the mystery and suspense.

Which character – as performed by Brad Wills – was your favorite?

All of the characters, Brad did a great job with all the different voices of all the characters.

Highland Mystery and Adventure!

This book is a novella of this series and not a full length novel. I would advise getting the first 3 books before listening to this one because this book elaborates on past events and gives more clarity as to how the Clan members connect while giving glimpses of the future Graham Clan (the next series). The author weaves a captivating tale that is full of mystery and adventure. A must for highlander lovers.

The narrator is wonderful in this series. He does an exceptional job with each voice....doesn't get any better!
