Reader review<br />
Jackie Cairn enjoyed The Woodcutter by Reginald Hill<br />
“If you enjoy crime fiction that takes you<br />
on a journey <strong>of</strong> suspense, covering many<br />
surprising twists and turns, then this<br />
book is for you.<br />
Wolf Hadda<br />
is the son <strong>of</strong><br />
a Cumbrian<br />
woodcutter.<br />
Growing up<br />
to become<br />
a successful<br />
entrepreneur<br />
and<br />
marrying the<br />
sweetheart <strong>of</strong><br />
his dreams,<br />
his <strong>life</strong><br />
appears complete. But the hammering<br />
at the door <strong>of</strong> his Holland Park home<br />
one morning changes everything. Wolf<br />
is suddenly parachuted from universal<br />
business acclaim to paedophile and<br />
fraudster. During the next seven years in<br />
prison, Wolf realises that the only way he<br />
may be released is to admit to the crimes<br />
and deceive both his psychiatrist, Alva<br />
Ozigbo, and the authorities.<br />
Once deemed fit to re-enter society,<br />
Wolf is on a mission to seek the truth<br />
and exact revenge. But his efforts to do<br />
so bring him into danger as he fights<br />
to clear his name. Who set him up and<br />
why?<br />
This is a gripping story, made all the<br />
more enjoyable thanks to reader David<br />
Thorpe. His ability to keep the reader<br />
entertained throughout the 17 hours<br />
38 minutes is due to his obvious flair in<br />
creating voices for the various characters<br />
in the book. Apart from the drama and<br />
suspense, it is also possible to enjoy the<br />
wit and strong personalities that define<br />
the main protagonists in this hugely well<br />
written crime thriller. It is indeed easy<br />
to see why author Reginald Hill won<br />
so many accolades. The book ebbs and<br />
flows in a carefully constructed web <strong>of</strong><br />
intrigue that holds the reader’s attention<br />
throughout.<br />
I am a new member <strong>of</strong> the talking<br />
book service, having decided to take<br />
advantage <strong>of</strong> so many more titles than<br />
the braille library is able to <strong>of</strong>fer. The<br />
Woodcutter was recommended to me<br />
after <strong>my</strong> partner, himself a longstanding<br />
talking book member, said how much he<br />
had enjoyed it. And how right he was! I<br />
would urge any crime fiction enthusiast<br />
to give this one a listen to.”<br />
The Woodcutter is available in braille,<br />
giant print and TB 18811.<br />
