Martin Chorley, aka the Faceless Man, wanted for multiple counts of murder, fraud and crimes against humanity, has been unmasked and is on the run. Peter Grant, Detective Constable and apprentice wizard, now plays a key role in an unprecedented joint operation to bring Chorley to justice. But even as the unwieldly might of the Metropolitan Police bears down on its foe, Peter uncovers clues that Chorley, far from being finished, is executing the final stages of a long-term plan.

It was nice to return to the Folly after a break. Well written. I wasn’t sure what to expect As far as narration goes sometimes the audible narrators are of a mixed quality. But this fellow did It really well.

Nobody does it better.... Dr. Mo O'Brien is an intelligence agent at the top-secret government agency known as the Laundry. When occult powers threaten the realm, they'll be there to clean up the mess and deal with the witnesses. But the Laundry is recovering from a devastating attack, and when average citizens all over the country start to develop supernatural powers, the police are called in to help.

Bit underwhelming as a Laundry novel but if you’re this far in you’ll like continue. The voice acting was not as great, but survivable. Mhari was more sympathetic than Mo, strangely.

This excellent audiobook is the first of its kind and has been selected by a number of organizations as a worthy introduction to the life of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), including Muslim Welfare House, London, and the Muslim Council of Britain.

A beautiful summary of the Sirah
Reviewed: 08-08-2018
Sometimes light on detail, but that is understandable in any single volume version of the Sirah, whether Ling's version or the Sealed Nectar. I listen to this audiobook of Ling's version every Ramadan when commuting since it is such a beautiful effort to summarise the life of our Beloved, peace be upon him.
