Summary

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.

Really strange narration

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.

Waffling narration

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

Well narrated, but complicated.

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.

Bad sound quality

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