When Eight Bells Toll

De: Alistair MacLean

Narrado por: Jonathan Oliver

From the acclaimed master of action and suspense. The all time classic

Millions of pounds in gold bullion are being pirated in the Irish Sea. Investigations by the British Secret Service, and a sixth sense, have bought Philip Calvert to a bleak, lonely bay in the Western Highlands. But the sleepy atmosphere of Torbay is deceptive. The place is the focal point of many mysterious disappearances. Even the unimaginative Highland Police Sergeant seems to be acting a part. But why?

This story is Alistair MacLean at his enthralling best. It has all the edge-of-the-seat suspense and dry humour that millions of readers have devoured for years.

‘Almost perfect MacLean’ Lee Child

Another brilliant Alistair Maclean novel

Wonderful read (listen?). A good suspenseful novel with lots of twists and turns, some you can see, and many you can't.

This is the second Audible I've listened to with Jonathan Oliver's narration and must take a moment to say what a wonderful job he does. His ability to do justice to all the voices is well appreciated.

Great read.

Loved it. McLean has an occasional wry sarcasm that only adds to his crisp clean writing style.

another witty read

simple and again, well done in the 1st person POV, Alistair MacLean is brilliant. another favorite for me.

My Favorite Thriller Writer

I thought I had read all Alistair's books more than 40 years to go but to my surprise I missed one. Alistair Maclean has always been my favorite thriller writer because he has great characters, his books move at a fast pace, his stories are well researched, and the action is realistic and non-stop. Glad to hear that his books are now on audible and it was better than reading it. Guess now I'll have to go down the list of all his books I read before to listen to them this time because they are still as great as when they were first written. Thanks Audible.

great story, just okay narration

Thought paused too long between many sentences which, to me, gave the narration a herky jerky flow.
