If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
Potentially people who are familiar with this new narrator
Would you ever listen to anything by Andy Maslen again?
Most definitely, just need to change the narrator
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Genuine disappointment, I was really looking forward to the next instalment but I couldn't connect with the 'wrong' voice of the protagonist.
Any additional comments?
Would re-buy if Gethyn Edwards was brought back

I was really looking forward to this book and downloaded it immediately after finishing the previous one. Bad idea. Narrator changed and I have tried and re tried to listen but cannot 'connect' to his accent, elocution or style. The narrator makes such a difference. Wasted credit, hey ho!

Enjoyable multiple character threads combined with visceral descriptions of 'actions'. Now to the next in the series.
Great story with plenty of action and thrills. Narrator not great though which detracted from the experience
After reading a negative review about the change in narrator from the previous 2 books, I thought I’d make my own decision. I lasted about half way through chapter 1, sadly I have to agree that even though I loved the first two books, I just can’t engage with the performance, the diction is just sub par for this series of audio books.
