Crafty

Brilliant. I'll definitely listen again to get the full detail and go onto some of her other books

Most unexpected

The Craftsman took some turns that I really wasn't expecting. I was very interested in how a female police detective was treated in pre-politically correct times and although we have far to go, I was cringing at the blatant and overt sexism. The story was clever and well thought out. I wasn't sure about the whole spiritual element to the tale and for me, personally, didn't feel it added anything to what was an intriguing and compelling story without it. Nevertheless, a 4 star listen from me.

Excellent introduction to Sharon Bolton’s books

I am new to this author’s work.
Some readers have indicated that they dislike the supernatural aspect of the book, as if it were an optional extra, when in fact it is at the fundamental core of the story. If you don’t care for this subject matter, look elsewhere.

As for the narrator: Yes, at normal speed the narration sounds flat and dull, BUT for me this was fixed by slightly increasing the playback speed to 1.10.

Some of the reviews seem harsh in my (obviously subjective) opinion. Personally, I loved it.

Love this book

I have lessoned to this book twice now and and still love it.
It’s so good and you can picture the story in your mind ( well I can ) I feel like am watching from a distance what’s going on in the town.
Sharon has a great writing technique that seems too draw you into the book and you feel like your part of it.
I know at the end of the year I will be leasing again to this book.
It’s nice to hear such a strong leading lady.

great story

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, so much so I have just downloaded all of the authors other books, the only critisicm I would have it the narrators accents for some characters, at times a little laughable, however, it didn't spoil the book. Definitely worth a listen.

Brilliant Book

And brilliantly narrated. You must read this book before reading the sequel otherwise book 2 is hard to understand but probably better than book 1

Good story

This was a good story throughout, taking you back in time to when things began and keeping me guessing to the end. Another good book from this author, thus one a stand alone

Unusual

Pleasantly enjoyable although somewhat strange towards the finish. Narration tended to be a
bit monotonous . However listening to the story was very compulsive and proved to be Intriguing to the very end.
