Nine Coaches Waiting

Mary Stweart has been one of my favourite writers for a long time. I read most of her books in the '70s, rereading them whenever I needed an escape (like I did with the books of John Buchan and Nevil Shute). Rereading ‘Nine Coaches Waiting' now, after an absence of nearly 30 years, it still hasn't lost its charm. She certainly knew how to spin a good yarn!
I listened to the audiobook version this time and was pleasantly surprised that the reader, Ellie Heydon, was fluent in French as well. One of my perpetual frustrations is that audiobook narrators do sometimes atrociously mispronounce foreign words. It can completely spoil the pleasure of listening to an audiobook. Think I will listen to more of her books, now that Hodder & Stoughton has decided to produce them as audiobooks as well.
