Strange but Thought provoking.
An unusual storyline which I very much enjoyed.
The narration was good even though the female voices were a little suspect to day the least!
All in all a good read.

What You Wish For
This, the fourth novel by Mark Edwards I've purchased from Audible was another nail-biting treat for the ears. The plot centres around Hastings-based regional newspaper photographer Richard Thompson (yet another character named after a musician, which is a feature of many an Edwards book) meets the beautiful, young and mysterious Marie on a hilltop. He's investigating and documenting alleged alien sightings in the sky over the South Coast; Marie, and her two companions, form part of a small cell of believers. Richard soon falls in love with the enigmatic Marie, who introduces him to the phenomenon of 'visitors' from other planets. All is not as it appears though and Marie's disappearance invokes a series of events which Richard must work through to discover the truth.
Did I enjoy this book? Absolutely - yes, it was classic Edwards in my opinion and contained all of his trademarks - geeky guy whom women wish to seduce!?; Internet trails; seedy goings on and most of all - an attractive flame haired heroine. I was drawn into the story and although it was slightly ridiculous at times, it remained entertaining throughout.
I have now purchased one of Edwards' collaborations with fellow author Louise Voss. I hope it's as good as all of his other work.

A bit disappointing
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I couldn't wait to read another book from this author as I find he is usually very in touch with reality. However I couldn't get into this one. There wasn't a single character I could empathise with or relate to and the story was too far fetched and contrived.
Would you be willing to try another book from Mark Edwards? Why or why not?
Yes because I have really enjoyed all his others.
What didn’t you like about Ralph Lister’s performance?
His attempt at character's voices, particularly female was comical and distracting.
Did What You Wish For inspire you to do anything?
No.
Any additional comments?
Mark - do your heroines always have to have red hair?

Another enjoyable book by Mark Edwards
This book is certainly worth reading, particularly if you haven’t read Mark Edwards before. I enjoyed this book and chose these ratings because I want to encourage other people to read this book.I enjoyed the overall story, particularly the aspect of warning against cults.

I enjoyed this.
Kept me interested most of the time. I did feel that the last few hours dragged a little. I liked the narrating and the voices made me laugh ! The story line was pretty unusual too, but made me want to keep listening. I look forward to listening to his other books.

I really like Mark Edwards but this wasn’t his best.
I really like Mark Edwards and have got quite into his books recently.
This book wasn’t as good for me as his others. The story just didn’t really seem to evolve and it sort of just fizzled through with nothing really happening.
I would definitely recommend Mark Edwards as he is a great writer but I would start with something else like ‘The Magpies’.
