Hubris

Detective Inspector Munro murder mysteries Book 11

De: Pete Brassett

Narrado por: Neil Macgillivray

DI Charlie West and irrepressible ex-detective James Munro return in a new murder mystery. HUBRIS is the eleventh book to feature retired detective James Munro and his protégé DI Charlotte West.

When a sheep farmer boards a stricken fishing vessel stranded on the shore, he is in for the shock of his life. Within lies the body of a man who is inside out. The police find a filleting knife in the hold, covered in the victim’s blood. DI Charlie West arrives on the scene, and given the obvious disembowelment, immediately determines that a murder has taken place. The boat is otherwise abandoned, but detectives soon trace the owner, a man well known to the police. He has a clear alibi but after some less-than-delicate probing, his story springs a leak. However, the investigation is thrown into confusion when a local girl goes missing. What is the connection to the gutless sailor? Or the arrogant boat owner?

Maybe it’s a good plot?

I’ve enjoyed all of Pete Brassett’s previous audiobooks & was looking forward to this one - but the narrator was so bad. Most of the characters sound like the worst, over the top, mocking comedic accents ever. I listened to it in small doses until I finally gave up.
So it may have had a good plot, but the narration it just awful.
