About this listen

From Stuart MacBride, the Sunday Times bestselling author of the smash-hit Logan McRae series.

Move Over Miss Marple . . .

The great and the not-so-good are gathered at Skirivour Castle Hotel, in the heart of the Highlands, for the wedding of the year – but they weren’t expecting Detective Sergeant Roberta Steel to crash their party. And get horribly, horribly drunk.

The whole valley’s been cut off by a massive thunderstorm and the phone lines are down, so when the father-of-the-bride’s body is discovered – decoratively impaled on a stag’s head in the hotel lobby – it’s up to DS Steel to find out whodunit. Which isn’t easy when you’ve got a monstrous hangover and only a world-weary sergeant and a halfwit police constable for backup.

With no witnesses and every wedding guest a suspect, Roberta will need to use every one of her little grey cells if she’s going to catch the killer and get out of there alive.

The book is every bit as excellent as I've come to expect from Stuart Macbride, but for me, Steve Worsley is the voice of Roberta steel and Lesley Harcourt just isn't the same. I understand the temptation to use a female narrator when the protagonist is female, but when a character has been brought to life so superbly by another narrator, irrespective of gender, it seriously diminishes the listening experience.

Come back Steve Worsley!

I love all the books Roberta steele is in and I have listened to them many times over however I found this one a hard listen, the narrator is one of the better ones I have listened to but let's face it she no Roberta steele! The story great and it's amazing to have another books so soon after such a long break but I don't think I'll be going back to this one

Where is Steve?

Did not disappoint, classic Roberta Steele hilarious and the narration by Lesley worked perfectly, despite what other reviewers have sad. If you need a dose of Roberta abd a giggle, you’ve got it!
