About this listen

Summer on the Peninsula.

The heat’s ramping up, the usual holiday madness building. D.I. Hal Challis is already recycling his shower water and starting to dread Christmas. But this year there’s something more. Women abducted and murdered on the Old Highway. A pall of fear over the scorched paddocks. The media are demanding answers - and Challis’s sleepy beat is set to explode.

Would have been great like Dishers other books but narrator sounded like he was reading English poetry not an Aussie book

Narrator does my head in

I’m a quarter way through this. Not sure if I can go on. Story is gripping but narrator is awful.

Book fine - narration terrible

I love Garry Disher’s books
Unfortunately I don’t particularly like Colin Phillamy’s narration I think his voice is to formal and doesn’t fit with the characters in the novel

Great listen

Great story from an author I particularly enjoy with a new, to me, character but the narrator really let the team down here.
I expect he’s probably good at his craft however when reading a book by an Australian author, set in and around the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne, he should have done his homework as to how words are pronounced locally …… what was presented was terribly disappointing … the airy inflection put into may words was very out of place for the story … pity.

Needed a different narrator to get top marks
