About this listen
Summer on the Peninsula.
The heat’s ramping up, the usual holiday madness building. D.I. Hal Challis is already recycling his shower water and starting to dread Christmas. But this year there’s something more. Women abducted and murdered on the Old Highway. A pall of fear over the scorched paddocks. The media are demanding answers - and Challis’s sleepy beat is set to explode.

Just ok
I really could have liked this book more if the narration wasn't so average

Narrator does my head in
Would have been great like Dishers other books but narrator sounded like he was reading English poetry not an Aussie book

Book fine - narration terrible
I’m a quarter way through this. Not sure if I can go on. Story is gripping but narrator is awful.

Great listen
I love Garry Disher’s books
Unfortunately I don’t particularly like Colin Phillamy’s narration I think his voice is to formal and doesn’t fit with the characters in the novel

Needed a different narrator to get top marks
Great story from an author I particularly enjoy with a new, to me, character but the narrator really let the team down here.
I expect he’s probably good at his craft however when reading a book by an Australian author, set in and around the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne, he should have done his homework as to how words are pronounced locally …… what was presented was terribly disappointing … the airy inflection put into may words was very out of place for the story … pity.

Good Story - But….
This is one book where I would have sooner read it and not listened to. Why didn’t I listen to a sample first!!!!

Disappointing
Not One of Disher's best, I found the story a little mediocre and the characterisation of the leads not very engaging. I qas glad when the book came to an end.
this may well have been a result of the lacklustre narration, which became maddening at times. I note the narrator reads quite a few titles in this series, which I won't continue. I'll try one of the author's other series and continue waiting for the next in the Hirsh series instead.

Wish I'd read the book instead.
I really struggled with this book and almost gave up on it numerous times. I really enjoy the author's books but the reader of this was a shocker!!

Books good
Book is good. I love the local knowledge. Not keen on the narrator. Ideas seem to run together and I kept losing track of who’s who

Good story but not loving this narrator
I’m sorry to say that I really did not enjoy listening to this narrator. His queen’s English was not the best choice for this Australian crime thriller. The story was good with lots of interesting characters but the narrator distracted me.
