Summary

1885: Five years after his release from prison, Montmorency is working undercover for the government. But his life, and national security, are threatened by his addiction to drugs. Can his friends restore his health in time to discover who is bombing London, and why, on the Scottish island of Tarimond, a whole generation of children has died?

If you enjoy being read to by Stephen Fry you will not be disappointed. Light and Fun this entertaining read is one to enjoy when you are doing a tedious task like the ironing and very safe to listen to with the family around. I will definitely purchase any more Montmorency titles if they become available on Audible if they are read by Stephen Fry.

Would you consider the audio edition of Montmorency on the Rocks to be better than the print version?

The audio version of this book is great. I don't think that the written version would be half so good. It was greatly enhanced by Stephen Fry's interpretation.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It tied up some of the loose ends but was too abbreviated and left some story lines hanging in the air.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The scene where Montmorency was chasing the crook through Kew Gardens Greenhouse

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes but it is too long for one sitting

Any additional comments?

The book was greatly enhanced by the reading of the story by Stephen Fry. His use of accents and different voices turned it into a performance. I have not read anything written by this author before but will look out for any other audible productions of her stories

Listen and relax on the beach

This is the second installment of the Montmorency story. The first instalment is not unfortunately available with Audible yet. Stephen Fry's beautiful reading of this epic tale is brilliant. However, I would advise that you either read or listen to the first book before purchasing this title, as the characters introduced in the first book are central to the story of the second. Perhaps Audible can obtain the rights to the first book as well...

An excellent listen
