Twelve Days

John Milton, Book 14

By: Mark Dawson

Narrated by: David Thorpe

John Milton hasn't seen Elijah Warriner for three years. The last time they met, Milton's efforts to keep the boy safe didn't go exactly to plan. Now Elijah is a promising boxer, preparing for the bout that will take him to the big time. Milton decides that he will spend the week before Christmas in London so that he can watch the fight.

But Elijah's burgeoning fame has brought him to the attention of old acquaintances with long memories and grudges to bear. They have noticed Elijah, too, and decide that now is the time to settle old scores.

Can Milton keep the young man and his mother safe, or will Elijah's old running mates get to him first?

Enjoyed it as all his series. The John Milton character is so well written

I love John Milton audios wasn’t disappointed always to short please keep them coming please

Coming full circle; I loved it!

Back where it all started, counting down the twelve days of Christmas, Milton calmly goes about setting wrongs to right. Rutherford's death in that first volume never did sit well with me, and now we find out that it disturbed Milton too. This was a very satisfying story with Thorpe's narration just adding a perfect depth.

Another John Milton Triumph - by Mark Dawson

Mark Dawson tells his stories brilliantly and David Thorpe interprets them perfectly.

The Cleaner, Dawson’s first story with Sharon Warriner and her son, Elijah, is a must read ahead of Twelve Days. You won’t be sorry reading all of Dawson’s books in their appropriate order. They do not disappoint.

Nonetheless, Twelve Days is a satisfying story, considering the backdrop of the days leading up to Christmas. No spoilers here, but more of John Milton’s character and heart emerge, in juxtaposition to the details of the tale.

AGAIN, do yourself the great favor of reading The Cleaner first.

go John go!!

Another great pick up for the Milton Stories. Well worth a the listen and fills in the blanks on alyza!!😊

Loving Milton

I Love that Milton was able to see Sharon and Elijah once again. It made me happy that they were able to talk about why he had to leave so fast and they accepted it. I hope we see them in more books. I’m on to 15 now

david is the best

loved it. well read, written and delivered i enjoy all mark dawson series and cant wait for more.

Milder storyline than usual...

This was definitely a somewhat watered down version of the John Milton series. Mostly centered around boxing and some old relationships from Milton's past. Not my favorite, but still fairly good. I didn't like the funky accents of the bad guys. Narrator is usually spot on, but missed the mark this time around.

Mark Dawson written another great novel!

The author has written another great novel full of intrigue and suspense! The narration is superb, bringing the characters to life!

Good, but not really for me..

Another story about John Milton and his friends Hicks and Ziggy. This would never be one of my favorites because it was about boxing, and I'm not a fan. But it was still good. There was the gang FLB who were nothing more than kids trying to be dangerous grown-ups.

No romance and the F-bomb was used 37 times.

As to the narration: David Thorpe did a wonderful job on the "gangsta" accents

another good one

John revisits a part of his past and the story is not disappointing, plenty of action and interest, just such a great character, love Resnick almost as much as I love Reacher.
