Publisher's Summary
It's December, and the Shannon family are returning home to their clifftop mansion near Kinloch for their annual AGM. Shannon International is one of the world's biggest private companies, with tendrils reaching around the globe in computing, banking and mineral resourcing, and it has brought untold wealth and privilege to the family. However, a century ago Archibald Shannon stole the land upon which he built their home, and his descendants have been cursed ever since.
When heavy snow cuts off Kintyre, DCI Jim Daley and DS Brian Scott are assigned to protect their illustrious visitors. As an ancient society emerges from the blizzards, and its creation, the Rat Stone, reveals grisly secrets, ghosts of the past come to haunt the Shannons. As the curse decrees, death is coming. But for whom, and from what?

Too far fetched
The author seems to be trying too hard with this one. I know it’s fiction, but aspects of the story were too unrealistic to be plausible.

Story 5, Aussie accent 2.
The story kept me engaged but the attempt at an Aussie accent grated. Sounded more cockney.

Brilliant
I’d have to say I’ve loved this one best so far.
The narrator brings so much to the story.

too much going on in this one
I so have enjoyed Denzil Meyrick books but The Rat Stone Serenade had too much going on in the storyline. towards the end I felt like it was a TV soap. as always fabulous narration by David Monteath.

Over the top
I really enjoyed the first two books in this series but have found the plots in book three and four to be really over the top. I do have the next book in the series but it will have to be very good for me to continue after that one.

this narrators accents never cease to amaze!
the writing in itself is always a captivating and unpredictable storyline, but its the narrator that takes the cake. he brings the story to life and the reader can tell who is speaking based on their "voice" alone. brilliant character distinction and as an Australian, a very good Australian accent!

Dreadful Australian accent.
This was excruciating to listen to. No educated Australian man would sound like that, nor would he say something like "I leave all that to the Aborigines". Everything rang false about this story.

Not up to books 1 and 2
If I wasn’t fond of the characters from books 1 and 2 and wanting to know their personal fates, I probably would have given up on this book.
An overly involved plot, with at least 3 sub-plots, with an absurd and wholly unbelievable focus, never fully explained, on a “Druid” cult that “sacrificed” at least 2 people in particularly cruel and sick-making ways. Not adequately tied into the overall scenario and quite unnecessary for the drama to unfold. It’s just not something that’s going to happen in West Coast Scotland so felt quite ridiculous.
Only worth persevering if you’re fond of Jim Daley and Brian Scott.
