This is a wonderfully enchanting story, with an ever building interest. It is a very satisfying mystery, with tremendous poetry and passion.
The narrators performance is amazing, with consistent, distinguishable voices for every character, bring the story to life more so than reading the words. I highly recommend it!

Superb narration of a gripping story
