I have a habit of re-listening to Strike novels when I want something in the background but I don't think 'The Ink Black Heart' will be part of my rotation. Although Robert Glenister's narration was excellent* as always, TIBH was a difficult listen. So much of the story (and it probably felt like more than it actually was) involved tweets, in-game chats, and emails. Lots of hashtags and "so-and-so at such-and-such" and time of day details - got a bit maddening in Audible. That being said, I enjoyed the story and am looking forward to the next book, which I sincerely hope does not involve researching Twitter feeds.
*Although, lol, Glenister's American Southerner accent was a wee bit tortured.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 554
Edgar Hill is 35 and caught in his own headlock. Overweight slob, underperforming husband, and reluctant father - for Ed, the world may as well have already ended. So when it does end in a catastrophic asteroid strike and Edgar and his family find refuge in an Edinburgh army barracks, it comes as something of a relief. But nothing's ever that simple. Returning from a salvage run in the city, Edgar finds his family gone, taken to the south coast for evacuation by an international task force.

Amazing narration

Jot Davies' performance is outstanding. The emotion his narration invokes is beyond anything I've heard on Audible to date. Loved it

Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Grating narration

So disappointed in the narration of this series! Somehow Jim Dale makes everyone sound either like a buffoon or a Smurf on speed. Awful, awful, awful.
