The Shrieking Pit

(5 stars)

A LibriVox Listener

A very enjoyable whodunnit with many red herrings. The narrator Kevin Green gives an excellent well paced rendition which results in a beautifully relaxing audio experience.

Enjoyable with a cuppa and blanket...

Clean, entertaining plot with some twists. Cast of characters is likable and have enough depth to draw a reader in...Enjoyable reading by Kevin Green.

Good one!

Normally I have trouble following an extremely detailed mystery like this one, but the author does a great job of making everything clear, repeating the points until he drove them home, and keeping the listener/reader in the loop. It is very well narrated, and a riveting story that keeps you guessing until the end. Speaking of the end, that was my only complaint. It ends very abruptly. Everything is spelled out, but it leaves you feeling like the story just comes to a screeching halt. But don’t let that deter you from listening. It is definitely a worthwhile adventure!

Mr. Kevin Green is Marvelous!

Not to say the story is lacking but Kevin Green is so enjoyable that I cannot imagine The Shrieking Pit being read by anyone else. Good tale that was engaging to the end. Now I’m off to find another book read by Mr. Green.

Excellent

I absolutely love this end to end. The reader made excellent work off the reading and the text was also great production. I am quite a fan of that part of Norfolk and I thought this book brought it beautifully to life. I found some wonderful characters and beautifully described scenery. I must take another trip back out East soon! Spoiler alert - I note some reviewers comment that they had guessed the killer early on only to have a bait and switch at the last minute which annoyed them. That’s part of the style of this novel. Also, I had actually guessed the real killer. :)

The story itself was quite good, but Eric's ability to give each character a different voice and to quickly change between character/ voices is amazing. It makes the story much more interesting than just straightforward reading in the same voice. He even makes the females sound like real women! My only complaint is the ending. I thought I knew who it the culprit would be from early on. And I felt disappointed that the author probably knew most people would deduce the same, and so he decide towards the end to make it someone else. It felt lame to me.
