About this listen
Friends since childhood, and lovers and business partners as adults, Niamh and Ruairidh are owners of a small Hebridean company, Ranish Tweed, that weaves its own very special version of Harris Tweed. Although it's a small company, their fabrics have become internationally sought-after as a niche brand in the world of fashion and haute couture.
But the threads of their relationship are beginning to fray. As they prepare for an important showing at the Première Vision fabric fair, held in Paris every year, Niamh accuses Ruairidh of having an affair with Irina, a Russian fashion designer they work with - a fight that ends with Ruairidh storming off and getting into Irina's car. Moments later, Niamh watches in horror as the car containing her life partner explodes in a ball of flame.
With Niamh a prime suspect in the murder, the Parisian police hound her even after she returns to Harris to bury the pitiful remains of her lover and business partner. Amid the grief and struggles that follow, she begins to suspect that things are not what they seem; and when there is an attempt on her life, she becomes convinced that what looked like a terrorist attack on her lover might be something more personal by far....

Not enough depth to the story.
Too much going back in time and irrelevant facts. The female voice was annoying. She overacted the part.

Incredibly disappointing
There is so much about the story and the performance I found disappointing - surprisingly so. I worked really hard to give this my full attention but by the time I was less than half way through it was a strain to keep listening. I am very much a Peter May fan, and Peter Forbes has been a wonderful voice as a character and storyteller (his performance being the reason I gave that a 2 star rating). I found the interplay between Forbes and Murray and in particular Murray's voice inconsistent across a timeline and frankly confusing at times. The story dragged on and on. The introduction of so many characters seemed superfluous and did little more than distract the listener. If this had been an ebook or print book I would have fast forwarded to the end just to be able to put it down. NOT what I expect from Peter May at all.
