Middle of the road story with great narration

If you could sum up The Midnight Eye Files: The Amulet in three words, what would they be?

Eldritch Scottish Noir

Would you be willing to try another book from William Meikle? Why or why not?

Maybe. The premise was good, but didn't go deep enough into the mythos for my liking.

Which scene was your favorite?

No particular scene stands out for me.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.th

Any additional comments?

Awesome narration. I think that what kept me going. What can I. Say, I'm a sucker for a good Scottish accent.

Amazing

I’ve listened to this book twice. Totally enjoyed every minute. The way RC Bray changes his voice to a scotch accent is AMAZING!!! He is my favorite narrator especially when he’s narrating a great book.

Excellent

I listened to this book following a recommendation and I am so glad I did. The performance was outstanding, 5 stars isn't enough. Bray uses a Scottish accent throughout the book and it is spot on.

The story itself is intriguing, mysterious and a little weird which makes for an excellent book. I couldn't turn if off.

The Amulet

Tasked with recovering an amulet,that has slipped through the fingers of other men,PI Dereck Adams soon finds out why.Wading through the bodies left by the thing,he must outwit it and its keepers.A good tale! R.C. Bray was a terrific narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

An absolute delight in every respect!

I absolutely love the noire PI genre, and this book is definitely one of reasons why! Gimme a seedy private detective and a beautiful babe, a guy that doesn't look to hard at the details before he takes on an 'easy' job, yeah... this is such a laugh, it's an awesome book, not only is the story fun, but William Meikle writes with such fluid grace, and easy dialogue that he makes every character come to life!
The book is an absolute homage to HP Lovecraft, as well... Meikle takes ideas, and runs them all the way to the goal line, ending at the Arkham House!
And if that's not enough reason to get the book, then get it because RC Bray narrated this one! RC Bray easily slips into a Scotsman's accent/pov like putting on well loved gloves!
Tha Amulet is simply an absolute delight in every respect!
