Mysterious death. Grieving mother. Government conspiracy. Edinburgh hackette Nicola McLaren has heard it all before.

Oh, and then she has to save the world.

Critic reviews

“In 2 Minds has a lot to offer largely because it is so refreshingly different from many of the other BBV audios. For starters it is a lot more gritty and realistic, although this doesn`t detract from the plot in any way. Secondly the use of Scottish accents adds much to the production and gives it individuality. Thirdly, the acting is of a high standard throughout and the same can also be said about the plot, which features a journalist caught up between two warring Rutan factions. The only downside is that the story does run out of steam slightly at the end, but don`t let this put you off what is otherwise a strongly recommended audio.” (Stuart Gutteridge)
