About this listen

Surly and abrasive, veteran detective Jack Harris at times shows more concern for the wildlife in his beloved Pennine Hills than keeping up cordial relations at work. Indeed, when a trio of local criminals try to steal the eggs of a rare bird, DCI Harris treats it almost like a personal insult. Yet, when two of the criminals descend from the hills into Harris' snare, Harris finds himself with a murder investigation on his hands.

the reader really spoilt this for me. his intonation was very odd, only sounding correct when needing to sound angry or irritated. because of this, I hardly noticed the story, which I think is just ok. I'm not very interested in egg collectors and I left the book unfinished, not being able to cope any longer with the narrator.

Really strange narration

Didn’t finish this. Got fed up with an untidy storyline and a narrator who just sounded as if he was waffling

Waffling narration

This hasn’t been successfully produced - the sound dips incredibly low even at full volume, compared with other audiobooks.
The story is ok but fairly dull and full of cliches.

Sound levels are off with this recording

The summary made me want to listen to the story, but the way it was narrated was really irritating - one minute loud, the next too quiet to hear. Tried to listen to this in a quiet environment, but had to give up as I was missing too much of the story and lost the thread.
(Couldn't access enough of the reviews to understand why it had such a high rating.)

Appalling narration

Nicholas Camm's excellent narration kept me listening. I was unfortunately confused with so many characters to concentrate on. An enjoyable read but not for anyone who is busy doing other things while listening - concetration required to remember who was who and where they fit in to the story.

Well narrated, but complicated.

I stopped listening because it was really difficult to follow if you are not in a quiet environment

Bad sound quality
