I was hooked after listening to Duplicity, but this triumvirate narration coupled with outstanding writing was even better. I really liked the way a variety of subplots came together with meaningful and unexpected conclusions.

I have been a Peter Diamond / Simon Prebble (specifically) audio book fan for some time. I did not listen to these great books in sequence, but it didn't matter. They are all excellent. However, Lovesay writes the best ending to all of his mysteries here.
You will NOT be disappointed and as usual, Prebble is the voice Master bringing every character to life. A+

A very engaging story! Prebble is a true master of this medium. The ending was even better than the listener could have hoped for. Excellent all around!

Well written and narrated.

It makes the listener wonder what Paul Leroux could have accomplished for good if he had tried.

Another sad commentary on genius and evil.

I have never read a Ken Follet book, but I am a avid fan of Simon Prebble. To me, this book was very well written, fast moving and had just enough elements to both educate and keep you interested till the very end.

And a romance with a happy ending?

What’s wrong with that?

The narrators did a great job! I bought this book because Duplicity was A+. To me, this story dragged on and unless you like hearing about children being abused, you should consider other titles.

1984 Audiobook By George Orwell cover art

I had heard about 1984 my whole life, but only recently decided to hear it through one of my favorite narrators, Simon Prebble.

He does an outstanding job, regardless of the material and 1984 is no exception.

Sad ... but too many elements of his book have and are coming true.

I became a Deon Meyer fan because I was originally looking for mysteries narrated by Simon Vance. I have enjoyed all of Deon Meyer's Benny Griessel books. Mr. Meyer has created such vivid characters in the very capable hands and voice of Simon Vance, that you look forward to the latest installment ... like The Last Hunt.

The narration was A+, my disappointment was the ending.

A solid 4 star.

Simon Prebble does a skillful job of taking us with Shackleton and his crew to Antarctica on the Endurance.
The writing is only surpassed by Prebble's unique way of bringing the words to create intense images and feelings of a journey that very few could make and survive. Outstanding.

I must admit I did not listen to the Benny Griessel books in order, but it didn't matter. Meyer is a gifted author and Simon Vance adds so much to any book he performs, it is always a pleasure to listen to him.
