I have just finished listening to this and my first thought was 'wow, that narrator did an amazing job!' I have no idea how she read at that speed without slipping up, especially in the last few action-packed chapters. I shall certainly look out for other books read by Helen Clapp. I enjoyed this ...

I enjoyed this who-done-it, with one main character who suffers with OCD and a second with mild cerebral palsy.The killer is staging murders on Greg Unsworth's street, and making them appear to be either accidents or suicides. Greg is sure the police are missing something but his severe OCD prevents...
Nothing against Adrian Monk -- either in book or TV form -- he was brilliant, fun, and his OCD was treated with sensitivity. But also for laughs -- the combination wasn't easy to pull off. But OCD isn't really a laughing matter -- just ask Greg Unsworth, the protagonist of John Bowen's compelling co...

Fab...
There are times when, as a reader, I want a change from my normal diet of thrillers and, while I am not averse to a creepy ghost story, I have to admit that I do tend to stick to the big names. However, Where the Dead Walk was quite a revelation to me. A riveting and thrilling tale, atmospheric and ...
This book contains 4 short stories: The Steal, Collide, Crash, and The Fall. All four are full of suspense and delicious tension. I am hard pressed to say which was my favorite in the collection as they were all worthy. Perhaps Collide orCrash simply because I gravitate towards science fiction. My o...
Where the Dead Walk was truly entertaining. I didn't want to put it down. When I did, I couldn't wait to get back to it. You Have to enjoy the paranormal to enjoy this story because it is "ghostly" from beginning to end. The characters were easy to relate to and memorable. I felt a huge amount ...
The Gordon Riots: the beginning of Anarchy in the UK! Dickens' "other" historical novel and actually much better than the other one. I have to admit I mainly read this because of my interest in the Gordon Riots. The usual cast of characters and tangled histories set against the backdrop of the 1...
Have fair roared with laughter at some of the character descriptions (notably Miggs and her mistress). George Gordon is perfect Punch cartoon and star of it all is the Raven.Don't be put off by 'them' telling you that a story is 'lesser' when the 'lesser' of Charles Dickens is far superior than anyt...
