Fantastic gripping story narrated by SCOTTISH narrator!

This new series by David J Gatward kicks off with Gordy from the brilliant Harry Grimm series starting a new life in Somerset. I loved it! It’s got everything, suspenseful story, witty writing and great characters. I had to laugh at another review that complained as to why Mr Gatward hadn’t got a Scottish narrator…er Ruth Urquhart is very Scottish as that’s where she’s from! ( clue’s in the name) She narrates in her natural soft Scottish accent and gives Gordy a bit of a Highland inflection. I suppose if you’re from the States you might not know the subtleties of UK accents. Anyhow I think Urquhart is a brilliant fit for this series and can’t wait for the next one! Highly recommend.

A decent story for a spin off character

The story was good but was hampered at every turn by the reader.
DI Haige is from Scotland, so why would you use someone with an English accent to read the book? Makes zero sense to me because a reader with a Scottish accent would have added an air of authenticity to the character.
