The Sixth Soul - I loved it!
I'm not a huge fan of crime novels, but from the very start this one had me gripped. This is an intellegent, tight and well crafted novel where none of the elements are ever overplayed. For example, there's a welcome absence of the frantic plot twists that others rely too much on. Mark Roberts clearly knows how to tell a great story and does so here with aplomb. Joe Jameson also does a fine job with the narration.
Ok but....
This was an ok listen but overall I found the plot very predictable and some of the writing quite forced/unnatural. Additionally, I found the narrator a little annoying if I'm honest. The voices of the various characters, both male and female, ended up sounding like comedy caricatures. Not the worst listen but light years away from the best in my opinion.
Great First Novel
As soon as I finished this I went to look for others in the series, only to find with surprise that this was the first. I've read all John Connolly's Charlie Parker series, so if like me you enjoyed those you'll enjoy this. Not quite as dark and graphic, but still with a strong spiritual element - with undertones of satanism. I really bought into the main characters and was calling out loud at the book towards the end. The reader was good, although not convinced by the female character voices - I sometimes wish produces of audio books would employ a female voice for dialogue, it didn't spoil the story as I eventually got used to it and was able to suspend my disbelief - now when is the next one out I can't wait!!!
Exciting
This was a good, exciting listen. It made few demands and was ideal entertainment for when I was doing the decorating. Reminded me of a tv police drama and would probably work well as such. The characters developed well and are sympathetic enough to stand further outings in future books.
The narration was excellent.
Took a bit to warm up but good till the end
You need to give this a bit of time to warm up but it is worth it. A good pace and development and a satisfying end. The story develops nicely through the background of one detective, and some rather dodgy members of the church.
