Thoughts

I’m still working my way through these audiobooks, read by various great names who have been in or are associated with the TV show. This one was read by Adjoa Andoh who did a really great job with the voices and I think inhabited the character of Martha really well. But I didn’t rate the story so much, it felt a bit sprawling, a bit confusing and I found it a bit hard to follow. May just have been me but there are others that are better.
