Angela becomes snowbound at a castle in Scotland, add the Foreign Secretary, Head of British Intelligence and the American Ambassador and you get a story that sparkles with intrigue from start to finish. When a dead body turns up the fun begins.
This is a fabulous book but it is let down by the narrator who does not bring the characters to life and makes it difficult to follow who is speaking.

A good story spoiled by the narrator’s delivery. The voices she gives to each of the characters makes each sound as if they are trying to impress an elocution teacher.

Good Story Spoiled by Delivery

please please get a different narrator, this is clearly not a real English person, it's completely wrong, with lots of incorrect pronunciations and just grating and painful to english ears. Love the story but so spoilt by the narrator

love the story lines, clever and subtle.
