The Fireraisers

It is 1862 ,in Scotland and Mills are burning.Luckilly no one has been injured.Sargent Ward is sent to check into it and finds it is not this owners first fire,then he finds himself thrown into an adventure in chaos that will lead him into the American Civil war and back.A very good story with a lot of adventure. Max Best was a very good narrator.While he does a believable USA Southern accent his is a Scottish brogue.During regular speech he is understandable,but when he talks to himself in a lower tone,or mumbles I have no idea what he said. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Little hard to understand.

Although I feel the plot of the story was a good one. A story of mystery, murder, arson, with a little war, plots and schemes. I found this Audiobook a little hard to get into, I really had to listen to understand what was being said.
The heavy Scottish accent for me made it a chore to listen to. I feel that if the narrator had made the storyline with not such a heavy Scottish accent the narration would’ve been much more enjoyable to listen to.
Although I feel the Scottish accent does contribute to the story it would’ve been better if it had of just been with the Scottish characters.
In saying that the narrator still does a good job giving each character their own unique voice. In doing so each character recognisable.
Violence did not go into great details.
Corse language I don’t think there were any. If there was it was only minimal.

This one stuck with me

I got this from a free code from the narrator Max Best and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the story. The narration was terrific and unique. I am disappointed that Book 2 in the series hasn’t been teleasex yet but I definitely want to follow Detective Waters.

Mystery

Well written mystery with some plots and interesting twists and turns.
Narration was very good

Fire and water

Whatever a great book adventures of constable waters at sea and on land fire and water the light for book really really good book. The author and the narrator both did an excellent job I am so happy that I got this book I would recommend this book to anybody it was so good.
