I loved all the previous books in the Charlie Bone series and this one was no exception. The narrator is also great! I would definitely recommend buying the audio version. In this case, it certainly enhances the reading experience.

I have been following Charlie bone for several years and the story continues in Nimmo's inimatable style. Good story as usual as Charlie tries to get Billy Raven out of Badlock.
The audio book narrator is also good - an important issue for me.
The Red King and his Wife appear more prominently.
