Horses - Thriller by Keith Ridgway - BBC Radio Audiobook - cheops

A unabridged thriller by Keith Ridgway, read by Owen Roe.

Horses by Keith Ridgway, read by Owen Roe is the story of a storm, of grief, of arson and revenge. A doctor, a priest and a policeman, one wild stormy night, struggle with the grief of a teenage girl, the unpredictability of a vagrant and the terror of an arsonist.

This is a thriller told with skill and a thoughtful use of language. The final twist brings a feeling of relief and the satisfaction of the best outcome.

`This beautifully taut tale conjures up the elemental, rural Ireland that, understandably, still haunts much of the country`s sensibility and literature` ( The Independent )

Five episodes of approximately 30 minutes each - episode summaries witheld to avoid spoiling the plot.
