Spamalot Reviews – Grimsby and York

Reviews are starting to flow in for Spamalot.

One of our website subscribers was present for the Thursday performance at the Grand Opera House in York. Steven received a well-deserved and heart-felt standing ovation!

Arthur (Steven Pacey) is a joy to watch, every emotion plays on his face; his singing voice is fantastic and carries well … Pacey’s comic timing was excellent.

The Betrayal of Trust

Steven Pacey reads the sixth book in Susan Hill’s popular Simon Serrailler series, The Betrayal of Trust.

Listen to a Sample

Simon Serrailler is faced with that most complicated of investigations – a cold case. Freak weather and flash floods all over southern England. Half of Lafferton is afloat. A landslip on the Moor has closed the bypass and, as the rain slowly drains away, a shallow grave – and a skeleton – are exposed. It doesn’t take long to identify the remains as those of the missing teenager, Harriet Lowther, last seen carrying a tennis racket while waiting for a bus. But that was 16 years ago.

How long will it take to trawl through the old, stale evidence and assess it anew?

Publisher’s Summary

Reviews so far …

“And as for the reader, he is most excellent. I don’t think it would be the same without him, I shall be looking for other “reads” with him, definitely.”
” … the narrator is excellent.”
“Steven Pacey’s narration is outstandingly good and added to my pleasure in this recording.”
“I also find the reader very competent. It is very pleasing that the same reader continues throughout the series.”
” … the narration is excellent too. I can’t imagine anyone else narrating them.”
