About this listen

Wolf Hadda's life was a fairytale - successful businessman and adored husband. But a knock on the door one morning ends it all. Universally reviled, thrown into prison, Wolf retreats into silence. Seven years later Wolf begins to talk to the prison psychiatrist and receives parole to return home. But there's a mysterious period in Wolf's past when he was known as the Woodcutter. Now the Woodcutter is back, looking for truth and revenge...

A strong story with a great mix of characters and great plot but the narrator Jonathan Keeble well kudos to you this is possibly the best you’ve ever narrated
Honestly I’ll tell you now that I’m all in on a good narrator and Jonathan Keeble’s performance in this audible book was SUPERB 5star
I will definitely listen to this again and have no hesitation in listening to anything Jonathan Keeble reads
Thank you

This is a modern day fairy tale about Wolf Hadder (the woodcutter) and Imogene (the upper-class beauty). Wolf's fairy tale life was just that for fourteen years but then it all fell apart. He was sent to jail, confused and bitter. It starts off a bit slow and I found it hard to keep track of the different characters, but about half way it all seemed to fall into place and I then began to enjoy the book. It's a good story and I definitely recommend it.

Once upon a time...
