Review #4: Whiskey from Small Glasses by Denzil Meyrick

Firstly, this book had Whiskey in it's titled, and I'm partial to a nice Whiskey with cranberry juice! So I had high hopes for this book! IT DELIVERED!!

Narration - 10/10   Storyline - 7/10   Ease of Listening - 9.5/10

I have changed the colour of the TEN(!!!) I have given for narration. If I could give higher than that I really, really would. David Monteath, who I have never heard in my life has the most soothing voice ever. He could have read me anything and I'd have listened. He's exactly what you need after a stressful day. 

Another murder mystery (I know, I know, I'm clearly addicted), this one introduces DSI Jim Daley, who is sent to a small village (it wasn't clear, but I pictured a really pretty, picturesque village with a pub and a little stream) to investigate a murder. There are lots of little storylines in this book, which I'll not spoil for you. I gave it 7 for storyline as it wasn't always super clear, but it flowed well and due to the dreamy voice, was so easy to listen to! There was reference to Whiskey in the book (and it was based in Scotland!) so that was a massive bonus, though my drink of choice is alcoholic tea (another story). 

I didn't do ANY crafts whilst I listened, though if you desperately need to keep your hands busy, it's doable, I just didn't want to! Did I mention the narration 😍💖

There are more books in the series, which I'll review at a later date, but I bet you know what the narration score will be!?

As usual, any recommendations please let me know! I do actually read books too, so I'm not exclusively talking about audiobooks (and crafts!)!

Stay safe, take care!

DNF: Elske by Cynthia Voigt

This book held so much promise... But alas, I got half way through and just couldn't get any further. Nothing happened. The start was so...
