Critiques

Great concept, great reader, but execution not my cuppa


(3 stars)

Good concept. Love the idea of news events being caused (or prevented!) by the newspaper companies to sell more newspapers. That isn't a spoiler. I kept having to listen to chapters twice because I wasn't paying enough attention, but this was largely because I struggle with 'politics and intrigue' stories, preferring drama and character development. I'm sure others would enjoy. As always, Ben Tucker is a fine reader. I love slowing him down to a drawl.


(4 stars)

In today's world of invented news, manipulated events and swirling fake news this tale is hardly surprising. Ben Tucker is once again exceptional.
