Excellent, almost extraordinary!

Came to this after listening to Night Gate, very much out of order! But wanted to understand better the characters.
Not disappointed, And French setting well done, and well narrated too by Peter Forbes.
Only quibble re the plot was the somewhat credibility-stretching leaps of faith/logic in deciphering the Dan Brown like codes that went with the various objects associated with the bodies.
However does highlight a feature of audio-books; they are very much of the moment, without the facility in an e-book or better still a hard-copy of 'thumbing' back through to refresh/revisit.
But at the end of the day, Enzo and his complicated family have gotten under my skin, and I guess that is what counts.

Another great story

Really well narrated and another gripping story. Love Peter May books. They never disappoint. I would love to know where he gets his plot ideas from.

French connections with characters

I found the book a bit unfamiliar in the beginning but it quickly grew into an excellent listen. It felt , at times, like you were actually in France. Clever storytelling that was exceptional in its research.

It is a very entertaining story. I just love the way Peter May writes his story and the way Peter Forbes reads it. Although I found the motive was a bit "forced" but I still liked the book. Easy listen and hard to put down.

Introduction to Enzo MacLeod

May delivers a complex tale of deceit and treachery. Falls short of superb Coffin Road.

Gripping

An extremely well- told tale that held my attention throughout. The Scottish criminologist operating in France was fascinating and the brilliant narration brought the story to life.

Highly recommended and can’t wait to hear the next Enzo adventure.

Not a bad read

Quite a good story, in a similar vein to Dan Brown in that there was a trail of clues to find the killer. The characters were ok, but no one there I really loved.
What I didn’t like was what felt like an overuse of all the French names and phrases. The narrator did a great job with the pronunciation, but it was just overkill with 3 or 4 place names in a sentence.

Fabulous of Course

I'm not sure who I love more.... Peter May or Peter Forbes. If you love Peter May's books, this story won't disappoint. However, the constant reference to French geographical locations throughout, nearly drove me mad. So much so, that had I been reading the book instead of listening to it, i'd have given up. Having said that, I look forward to following Enzo Macleod. I just hope to god he doesn't feel the need to tell me the name of every street he walks down.
