Another excellent book by Maureen Lee

As a fan of Maureen Lee I would recommend this book to other fans, I really enjoyed it and I found the narrator easy to listen too.

very dodgy acent

the story was poor and the narrator was awful the scouse accent was really insulting and took a lot away from the book which made it a struggle to keep listening to the end.
