A repackaging of previously recorded stories. I expected to have read them all before (I have); I didn’t realize I would have heard all of these exact recordings before. Still fun I guess, Hugh Fraser’s a great audiobook reader. I was expecting them to be more summer-themed but an awful lot of them are set in the Middle East (whether summer or no, but mostly it’s Parker Pyne on holiday) with a kind of “Middle East = desert = hot” assumption that I found…a lot. Whatever, it’s fine I guess.
