The mystery portion of these books is good however I take exception with having to listen to the author’s ideas about church and how we should be all accepting of their convictions.
I did actually get some of it the right and I cottoned on to that straight away, and thought it was for similar reasons to what was revealed. However it were quite the plot twists, weren't there.
As with the other JR Ellis books I enjoyed this story which was well narrated as usual. However, what really spoils these for me is the adverts every 5 mins. This means I can't not listen while I am driving. I like to listen to these when I'm driving to clients' homes but if you get ads every 5 mins that's not possible as it takes your attention off the road if you skip the ads. This is always the first 4 hours and thank goodness after around 4 hours it appears they don't bother any more but 4 hours is a long time and it's really irritating. I've listened to other audio books with no adverts and actually I prefer them. I've got to a point where there are several JR Ellis audio books I haven't yet listened to but frankly I'm finding it such a pain with the ads, I don't think I'll bother. I will download the books from Kindle unlimited and read them instead.
Which is it? Great story or boring? And few people have a problem with criticizing unscrupulous fatcats, given today's plethora of shameless, criminal oligarchs.
I agree. The upper class aren't all as they are portrayed in JR Ellis books. JR Ellis obviously has some sort of grudge against them or simply has not mixed with those sort of people and doesn't know them particularly well. The plots are always entertaining though I do find they follow a formula which becomes evident when you listen to the books or read them, one after another. But, I guess all mystery authors usually follow a formula if it's one which has worked for them after a couple of books! It must be hard to keep thinking up new plots all the time.
@ yes it probably is. But this one was particularly bad. I timed some and it was every 3 mins at one point. It stopped about a 1/3 of the way through and not so many. Can also be how the creators account is. If they get money from ads.
Complain to TH-cam or pay their subscription price...? I'm in the EU and I pay nothing but am getting ads only when I refresh the page. Dunno why, but I like this channel because it has so few ads in comparison to so many other content creators. Anyone experiencing the same good fortune here? I hope so.
i knew it had to be twins i remember watching a documentary about the Germans during the war being Obsessed With Twins and when the topic of identical faces came up it just switched on in my head twin brothers .
You should not reveal plots in your comments. That is unfair to people who haven't yet listened/read the book. Sometimes people like to read the comments to see if people enjoyed it or not before they listen to it. You just ruined the plot now. I suggest for the sake of other listeners you either edit your post or delete it.

Thanks for the video. I got the murderer correct. Well sort of.

WARNING THERE IS A POST IN THIS THREAD WHICH IS A PLOT SPOILER. Don't read the comments if you haven't listened to the book yet!!!!!
Easy
Thank you for a great story. Why do you always have to keep knocking the upper class, it does get a bit boring.

The constant knocking the upper class is what I like most about these stories!
Great stories. But really getting ruined by adverts literally every 5 mins. 😞
I agree, but I think that that’s TH-cam doing that I don’t think the uploader has any choice or any input

Too many ads not worth listening to here.

You normally get few at the beginning. Once their algorithms will get what they wanted you should be fine.
They usually stop after 4 hours. It is very annoying indeed and it does make me cross, but as I said after 4 hours the ads stop.
The fake Yorkshire accent was just awful, I couldn't listen 😮
i knew it had to be twins i remember watching a documentary about the Germans during the war being Obsessed With Twins and when the topic of identical faces came up it just switched on in my head twin brothers .
Erm....Did you really just spoil the book for listeners????? I've got 2 hours left!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Who does that?!?

Cant stand the narration and too much padding
One person's padding is another person's atmosphere❤
