About this listen

**BRINGING DANGER CLOSE TO HOME . . . THE GRIPPING NEW THRILLER FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR NICCI FRENCH**

A good deed

Can turn deadly…

When Liam unexpectedly turns up in Jude’s life after ten years of no contact, asking her for a favour, she just can’t say no. He was her first love, and even though she is now a successful doctor and about to get married, he will always be someone special to her.

But after she does the favour, she is contacted by the police, informing her that Liam has been found dead, and suddenly she is caught up in a murder investigation.

And she realises this one decision could cost her everything—even her life…

Praise for Nicci French:

'Heart-thumping, head-scratching, nail-biting stuff: The Favour is classic Nicci French.' ERIN KELLY

I quite enjoyed the writing style and the plot, but I agree with others that the narration is over the top.
I feel like the narrator would be an accomplished stage actor, but just a bit too much on every comment and description for an audiobook.
4 stars for the story as it is engaging mystery with a likeable but useless yes-woman of a protagonist. The house, where much of the action is set, feels like a creepy extra character looming over the story.
I’m going to look out for more by Nicci French but with a different narrator!

Nicci French good, narrator not so good

I liked this story. It’s different to Nicki French’s other stories but I was absorbed and wanted to know what had happened and why.

I cannot bear this narration, It is unnecessary and inappropriate for the narrator to put so much expression into every word of every sentence! It’s an effort getting through something I was really looking forward to

Narration is so over the top .
I’ve wasted 8 hours of my life!

Breathtaking story, this is the art of writing! And as always, talented Imogen Church my top UK favourite narrator smashed all characters to the perfection! Highly recommended on audible!

The art of writing and narrating!
