Funeral Note

Bob Skinner, Book 22

By: Quintin Jardine

Narrated by: James Bryce, Annie Aldington, Seán Barrett, Garth Cruickshank, Joe Dunlop

After a tip-off, a man's body is exhumed from a shallow grave in Edinburgh. Murder surely, yet he died from natural causes, so, case closed? Indeed was there ever a case? But Chief Constable Skinner and his people keep on digging. Who was the man, why was he buried so reverentially, and by whom? Meanwhile corruption is discovered within the force, and an investigation launched. Immersed in crises, his marriage heading for the rocks, Skinner finds his very career hanging in the balance, its fate beyond his control. Can he win out, or will his life implode?

FUNERAL NOTE

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Yes, I would go back to the normal narration system.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Bob Skinner as usual

How could the performance have been better?

Some of the people doing the narration, should do something else. it was terrible.

Was Funeral Note worth the listening time?

Not really. I want to return it.

Any additional comments?

As an Scot from Edinburgh, Scotland. The American woman on this recording should be shown a map of Scotland. Her accent was mostly Irish, with some of the Western Isles thrown in. It was murder to listen to. She was not alone.
If you don't have an ear for, or aptitude to speak other accents. Please don't do it!!!!!
We pay a lot of money for these audio books, and expect to enjoy them.
I did not enjoy this one. I can imagine Quentin Jardine never listened to this audio book.
