Summary

Bringing together six short stories - two of which are previously unpublished - One Last Dram Before Midnight is perfect for fans of Denzil Meyrick.

These tales take us from Jim Daley's early days pounding the beat in Glasgow as a young constable to a lighthearted whisky smuggling romp involving Hamish and some ghostly pipers.

enjoyed stories. volume poor

I have listened to to this authors books before and really enjoy them. This one was spoiled by the poor volume. I tried listening on both my mp3 player with speaker and my tablet but it was still low. Finished by listening with headphones.

One last dram

This was a super set of stories. Unfortunately the sound quality was not the best even through my bit more speaker .

Highly entertaining, great for a long journey.

Always a pleasure when the narrator is the same. With the short stories its great to listen to in the car.

Short stories

I was initially quite disappointed when I realised I’d bought a collection of short stories as I’m not really a fan of them, prefer a longer meatier read. But really enjoyed these stories. Helped fill in some of the background of the main characters. Love writing style and narration.
