Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of The Hunt by Oscar De Muriel, a Christmas tale from the world of Frey & McGray, read by Andy Secombe.

Christmas, 1888. After a thoroughly trying time in Edinburgh, Inspector Ian Frey looks forward to a Christmas break at his family's country estate back in England.

But the welcome respite of home cooking, hunting trips and brandy by the fire is ruined by the arrival of an unwelcome guest . . .

*Features an exclusive extract from A Fever of the Blood - the brilliant new Case for Frey & McGray, which publishes in February 2016*

Praise for The Strings of Murder:

'This is wonderful. A brilliant, moving, clever, lyrical book - I loved it.'

'One of the best debuts of the year. Riveting, genuinely funny, occasionally frightening and superbly written.'

Critic reviews

This is wonderful. A brilliant, moving, clever, lyrical book - I loved it. Oscar de Muriel is going to be a name to watch. (Manda Scott)
One of the best debuts so far this year - a brilliant mix of horror, history, and humour. Genuinely riveting with plenty of twists, this will keep you turning the pages. It's clever, occasionally frightening and superbly written - The Strings Of Murder is everything you need in a mystery thriller.

while I liked the story I found the narration to be a put off. the voice wasn't one that I would want to use for a book

Really, there wasn't enough of a story to rate. I believe that if the book was longer, it could be a very good story.

Very short book

The reader does an excellent job of sounding like a pompous Englishman of the Era. Love these books.

Excellent Performance

Only two of this series is available in the US. I would love to be able to listen to the whole series. Also only giving us one of the books that's half way through the series is a bit upsetting. At least get the first one first.
