    Firstly the narration in phenomenal, bringing atmosphere, suspense and totally giving this book is brilliance. There are lots of characters and all of them enjoyable, the plot for me was a little slow in the beginning but the narration kept me hooked. Lots of twists and turns and I was kept guessing until the very end. What a brilliant voice Ian has its like a wee hot toddy on a cold winters night.

    Painful to complete this. Narrator good but not a fan of the story. Characters are annoying and not very likable. Story doesn’t flow well throughout these miserable lives.

    Good mystery. Didn’t guess the ending. It was nice that the author read his own book but it would have been better with someone who had more character voices.

    A very dark and disturbing thriller, written and narrated by Ian Skewis. What made A Murder of Crows quite different was the fact that it's very character led. The listener gets to meet and learn about all the players, good and bad, and has the whole length of the book to decide who's done what and why. There is no obvious motive for anything that has happened, and I rotated my choice of villain around each and every character. If you are unsure if the murderer is a career police officer or a retired teacher with early onset Alzheimer's, then surely that's an indication of how clever the writing is. This is my first book by Ian Skewis, but it certainly won't be my last. Very clever, very dark and thoroughly wonderful!

    There are no adjacent characters here; every character is a main character. You will think you know them intimately, that you have them figured out but you won't. At some point in this story I thought each of them guilty, and still did not see the ending coming. The author weaved in some surprises to change how you see each character and I thoroughly enjoyed that. This is not just a murder mystery. It's a who committed which crime, when & why story that will have you enthralled from the beginning to the end.

    Amazing !!! Loved it!!! Alfred Hitchcock reborn!!! I must admit that author , Ian Skewis is fabulous!! He is the narrator! Brilliant!! The beginning is a bit hard to now the characters but I listen to audio while I was driving to work. Sometimes I would take a few more minutes in the parking lot just to hear the end of the chapter. I got to the end. What I thought was the end and so confused. He said the prologue.. which normally is the end of the story BUT !!! It is BUT but but but he tells you the END!!! Brilliant ending! Never thought of it. As I said Alfred Hitchcock reborn!!.

    A very dark tale, full of characters that I couldn’t really get a liking for. The story seemed to weaver in so many different directions that it was difficult to work work out who did what and why.. I stayed with it to the end, but wouldn’t read a sequel.

    I've made it 5 hours into the book and I don't remember anything - no character names, nothing about the setting, zilch about the plot... Maybe it's a good book, but I quit.
