About this listen
Richard Fountain, a promising young Cambridge scholar, went to the island of Crete to study ancient rites and pagan rituals before, suddenly and inexplicably, breaking off all contact with the outside world. Disturbing rumors have filtered their way back to England, whispering of blasphemous rituals and obscene orgies, hints of terrible crimes and wanton murder.
Three of Richard’s friends travel to Greece to find him and bring him back. Following a grim progression of ominous clues, they will arrive at last at an abandoned fortress high in the wild and desolate White Mountains, where they will discover Richard’s terrible and shocking fate!
Chosen by Karl Edward Wagner as one of the best supernatural horror novels of all time, Simon Raven’s Doctors Wear Scarlet (1960) is a neglected classic of English horror fiction.

Not Raven’s best, terrible narration.
This is I think the only Raven on Audible so having read the Alms for Oblivion series and loved it, why not give this a go? The story is sub-par for Raven but entertaining enough, but the narrator’s character voices are ridiculous. Pity.

Narration
Anyone who has read Simon Ravens books knows that he is a very good writer, some say better than Anthony Powell.
He was also an unrepentant toff as is apparent in his writing so the narrator's slightly camp delivery along with a trace of estuary English doesn't quite carry things off.
The producers of audio books should be very careful who they choose to narrate .
