The House Sitter
Initially I found this a little slow to grab my attention but please persevere- this book has a good balance of witty lines from the characters and yet retaining above that a good storyline. Ultimately, I found myself relishing long drives to listen to more and leaving the office early for appointments so I could listen to as much as possible: the mark of a good download.

A good listen
A good book however I did guess who the muderer was - not sure why I came to the conclusion I did but I was right so maybe it was a little predictable. I enjoyed listening to it. It ran at a reasonable pace and had some interesting characters. Interesting for me as I know the area! - though yet to find out if White Sands does exist!

Rough Diamond
A good story with plenty of twists, well-paced and very much up to the Peter Lovesy standard.

A new Author
This is the first Peter Lovesay I've read/listened to, and it was a really good story. The action was fast-paced enough to keep me interested, yet detailed enough that you got a good mental picture of the characters. I too guessed the 'baddie' towards the end, but it didn't detract from the overall thrill of the book.
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a crime 'whodunnit' book.

Fun but spoiled by poor quality recording
Not a bad story (if not very believable)with some nice bits of humour. The characters were likeable. I liked the narrator but it was not a good quality recording and there seemed to be part of one chapter missing.

Exciting story
I hadn't read/listened to this author before and thought I'd give him a try. I wasn't disappointed. It's a well-constructed and exciting story that keeps one listening. The characters are well-drawn so one can remember who they when they re-appear. The reader is good.

Well worth a listen
An unsatisfying solution but that didn't detract from a gripping listen which had me hooked from the start. Characters well defined and likeable and a plot just complex enough to keep one guessing thoughout. Nicely read too.

Needed a longer drive
A nice paced audio that ment I had to sit in the drive to hear the end of some sections. Waiting for the next Peter Lovesey to appear.

entertaining
Not a fast moving thriller, but a good modern day detective story of the traditional kind that I enjoyed very much. I felt I got to know the main characters and venues, and the twists and turns kept me entertained.
