About this listen

Nick Chester is working as a sergeant for the Havelock police in the Marlborough Sound, at the top of New Zealand’s South Island. If the river isn’t flooded and the land hasn’t slipped, it’s paradise. Unless you are also hiding from a ruthless man with a grudge, in which case remote beauty has its own kind of danger. In the last couple of weeks, two locals have vanished. Their bodies are found, but the Pied Piper is still at large.

Marlborough Man is a gripping story about the hunter and the hunted and about what happens when evil takes hold in a small town.

Magnificent lead character. Ambiguous, wonderfully-drawn characters and self-effacing humour from our hero. Not run-of-the-mill. Really gets some of the darkness in New Zealand.

Just brilliant

A very well paced story, beautifully told. Highly recommended. I couldn’t stop listening until the finish!

Great Narration

This was a reasonable story line badly delivered. The place name is Havelock and not Harverlock and I couldn't for the life of me understand the Maori place names because they were so garbled. It hurt my ears to listen to it.

Please try to pronounce the place names correctly.

Loved this book from the beginning- a couple of great storylines intertwined. Criticism about the pronunciation by the narrator of local names is unfounded... the character isn't from NZ and has a distinctive accent.
I'm looking forward to the second book in the series.

Excellent!
