Short Story Reviews:

The Debt audio book short story is a snappy fast paced tale with a "Lock Stock" feel to it. Well narrated by Burn Gorman with a very convincing "London Geezer" accent.

At a little over 30 minutes long this is well worth a go. I would be interested to hear more short audiobook stories from Simon Kernick.

A good, story which made my drive home earlier seem to pass a lot quicker, so it can't be that bad.

The story is a little predictable, but it is a very well-narrated audio book story.

Country: USA

The Debt audio book is just enough to set the mood in my opinion and well narrated at that, particularly The Crim's voice. I thoroughly enjoyed it, fast paced with good characterisation and some witty one-liners.

The ending was satisfying too. I'd listen to more from this author.
Thanks for 30 mins well spent, BMW audiobooks are terrific!
