Mind The Gap

This volume looks like it has been released by a new publisher.

Good point - the mediocre narrator of the
previous volumes has been replaced by a far better one.

Bad point - there is a gap in the series. Unfortunately it's quite a significant gap, a lot happens in the missing volume. Not a problem for people like myself who have access to the missing book, but potentially confusing to those who don't.

As always the stories are excellent. Good solid writing and a varied cast of engaging characters whose lives intertwine in an intricate tapestry of tales.

Hopefully the other stories in the series will be released in audio...and maybe thevgap will one day be filled!
