I've only listened to two so far, but I'm quite sure there is no better narrator for Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series than Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. 5★s for his rendition of Amongst Our Weapons./review/show...
I'd have to say that the fourth book in Anne Buist's Natalie King series, Locked Ward is probably her best yet. 5★s/review/show...

So many readers have loved Barbara Kingsolver's important novel, Demon Copperhead, that I'm sorry I didn't (probably because I'm already familiar with the subjects). But I'm glad she felt compelled to write it.
3�My review of Demon Copperhead
What an amazing woman! Helen Keller, deaf and blind from a childhood disease, travelled the world, inspiring leaders and the public. This children's picture book by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara is all the better for the wonderful artwork by Sam Rudd.

Rebecca Macauley is exactly the right person to narrate Kate Solly's wonderful, topical debut novel, Tuesday Evenings with the Copeton Craft Resistance. 5★s/review/show...

An outlier this time. Found it too slow and rambling. Hardly anything thrilled me about this "thriller".
