Another great book in the series
Another excellent book in the series excellently narrated as usual!
I do think they need to be read in order as there are lots of references to previous stories and McLean's background.
Hope there are more and read by Ian Hanmore- he is up there in my top 2 of narrators with Sean Barrett!

Nearly as good but not quite
I'm a genuine fan of what James Oswald has done with this series and I think that in Ian Hanmore he has paired up with a stylish narrator perfectly suited to the stories. The characters are easy to identify with and "Grumpy Bob" never ceases to put a smile on my face. This story though didn't engage me as much as the previous ones and while still enjoyable I hope for a stronger and more gripping plot next time. Still well worth a read and while I think I can imagine why people found the whispering irritating I think it was a good touch and added the right creepy notes. A matter of taste!

Repetitive
I've read the whole series and found the books are getting increasingly repetitive.
I find Mcleans constant belittlement by his inept superiors irritating and his constantly getting put upon and never having a life outside of work as frustrating.
The series started well but I feel it's losing its way.

DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THE AUDIO PRODUCTION
Have enjoyed the series up until this book. Fully endorse the comments made about the whispering and in addition that DIABOLICAL background noise behind the whispering made these sections of the book, for me, UTTERLY UNINTELLIGIBLE . I intend to read very carefully all reviews of books before I buy in the future as this book , for me was a waste of money.
