Summary
From the best-selling and award-winning 'master of the spy thriller' comes a collection of riveting short stories.
When a man's wife leaves him under suspicious circumstances, he sets off in search for her, unprepared for the guilty secrets he's about to drag back into the light.
A man is tempted by a luxury apartment with a top-of-the-range kitchen. But there is a heavy price to pay for this glamorous new life.
And a couple with their marriage on the rocks go on a hike through the Derbyshire countryside as another way to avoid their real problems.
Hailed as the master of the modern spy thriller, Mick Herron's skill for tension, humour and memorable twists are captured in his short stories, collected here for the first time.

A collection of pure gems!
I thoroughly enjoyed these wonderfully diverse but equally gripping bite-sized nuggets of Mick Herron perfection!

Poor stories , average performance
Julia Franklin really isn’t to my liking . She ruins Mick Herrons books for me . Obviously she floats other peoples boats.

Terrible narration.
I love Mick Herron books but the narration by the female reader was so terrible I had to turn it off and return the book. Truly awful. First time I've ever returned one.

Let down by narrators (Sean Barrett excepted)
I have enjoyed all Mick Herron books to date but am sadly underwhelmed by the Dolphin Junction collection. None of the characters had any real depth and there was no real plots to speak of. And the narration.....Hey ho. Roll on the next Slow Horses novel!

Ruined by poor narrators (NOT Sean Barrett)
Mick Herron plus Sean Barrett is a dream combination for me. And there's another stand-alone Jackson Lamb story! There should be so much to enjoy here.
What a pity, therefore, that the rest of the collection should be spoiled by the other very poor narrators: sing-song, mannered little-girl voices, a slow male voice making interesting lines dull.
Narrators, listen and learn from the peerless Sean B!
I can't imagine who at Audble is choosing and allowing these recordings.

Extremely variable and largely disappointing
Generally good narration excepting the voice adopted for one of the main protagonists in the story “What we do” which renders it virtually unlistenable.
Save your money/credit and buy something else.

Narrator gets in the way
i devour Mick Herron's books, but never before on audible. The narrator, while suffering blocked sinuces, attacks each syllable with relish and Dick Van Dyke level accents. It all gets in the way of the story.

Truly awful narration... except Sean Barrett!
I am a huge fan of Mick Herron. The stories in this collection are very enjoyable, however the entire book is let down by the poor narration. It's almost most unbearable and if it had been any other author I would have given up.
The exception of course is Sean Barrett... I would be perfectly content to listen to him reading the phone book.

Unlike Mick Herron writing style
l have listened to most of Mick's books and have loved every one of them. This was not up to the usual quality of writing, except for the Jackson and Molly story. Or is it that l have become so used to Sean Barrett

Great Stories But Virtually Unbearable Narration
I'm half way through and the stories have been great - kind of Stephen King style macabre and not what I am used to from Mick Herron but still very compelling.
My complulsion to write a review at this stage is driven solely by the absolutely terrible narration so far! I mean unbearably bad. Currently listening to The Other Half and it's the same female narrator from one of the previous stories, All I can say is I have never in my entire life heard anyone speak with these speech patterns. Imagine putting the inflection of EVERY single word in exactly the wrong place, then you will be half way to understanding how incredibly irritating this is. The other narrators have been only marginally less awful.
I am persevering because it's from one of my all time favourite authors AND because Sean Barrett narrates one of the later stories. If I had not known about Herron's work previously and not listened to the Slough House series there is no way I would have listened beyond the first couple of minutes.
