I recently discovered audio books and this series has been my favorite so far. I cannot wait to listen to the next book in the series. The narrator has a wonderful sense of voice for each character - the Scottish accent is contagious. I'm so impressed with the narration, the sense of drama and emotion she can convey. I love to read books, but I have to admit I may be a convert to audio - especially for this series. I don't know if I'll ever want to see a movie again.This book has just the right amount of fiction and drama woven in with history. And you can't beat the sex ... there's quite a bit of it!
