Acerca de esta escucha
It was a junket, a freebie. A 'team-building' weekend in the highlands for lawyers, advertising execs, businessmen, even the head of a charity. Oh, and a journalist, specially solicited for his renowned and voluble scepticism - Jack Parlabane.
Amid the flying paintballs and flowing Shiraz even the most cynical admit the organisers have pulled some surprises - stalkers in the forest, power cuts in the night, mass mobile phone thefts, disappearing staff, disappearing guests: there's nothing can bring out people's hidden strengths or break down interpersonal barriers quite like not having a clue what's going on and being scared out of your wits.
However, when the only vehicular access for thirty miles is cut off, it seems that events are being orchestrated not just for pleasure....
And that's before they find the first body. Thereafter, 'finding out who your colleagues really are' is not so much an end product as the key to reaching Monday morning alive.

Starting slowly, building background, the story explodes into life around a third of the way through when Jack and other invitees arrive at an isolated refurbished Scottish house with a past reputation for violence and hauntings. The guests were there for team building exercises after which, the owner hopes, the hotel will gather publicity and paying guests following a very empty season. The results were not quite what he had expected.
Brookmyer's visual writing style and well rounded characters carries the reader along with those in the heart of the action, keeping the mystery of who? and why? as everything deelopes. And narrator Angus King gives a fine performance which further enhances the experience, conjuring up a series of character appropriate accents and voices as well as further developing the tension inherent in the story.
Good book with three dimensional characters and characteristic Brookmyer humour twisting through the developing action. Don't be put off by the slow start. Recommended.
