A Matter of Trust Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Like many others I was picked this up because of it being set in Scotland but the author did a horrible job making you feel like it was a "special" place - it sounded dull and gray and for all that was mentioned about Scotland, it could have been set anywhere. Very disappointing in that respect. The twist was suspenseful which kept me reading. Jumping around in times was just confusing - it was better at the end when it just followed one timeline. Just o.k. I wouldn't read another of his books though. "

" A true Pilcher story. Very very good, hard to put down. Highly recommended to read. "

" OK story. Fun, quick read. Read it while I was sick for a light and easy read. Likely won't be recommending this one. Didn't think the story was that great nor the characters too believable. Reminded me of a cheap soap opera. "

" I loved this book. It is an easy , fast read and yes, I admit it, with a happy ending and justice prevails:) I seem to always be looking for that!!! Enjoy it! "

" Claire Barclay has made a satisfying life for herself after leaving Scotland for New York. She married a loving husband and they are happy running a successful restaurant. Claire must revisit unfinished business from her past when she finds that her beloved stepfather has had a stroke, and she must return to Scotland to handle his affairs. She must decide whether her first love, who has gained her stepfather's trust, is truly acting in his best interest, and in doing so, must confront some unresolved feelings from her youth. Fans of Rosamunde Pilcher will enjoy her son's writing, as well as fans of domestic fiction. "

" This was the first book I read by Robin Pilcher and it will be the last. The characters are very boring and the story stunk. "

" Good story. Well written. Overall a real pleasure of a book. "

" Written very much like his mother, Rosamunde Pilcher, which I really enjoy. Nice story, good characters, I always love the character development of both the Pilchers. There are some interesting twists to the story, and keeps my interest right to the end. "

" This book had me reading avidly until the very end, mainly to see if my ideas about the outcome were correct. There was a certain amount of changes of date and venue that I found a bit confusing but not enough to make me give up. "

" I did not realize that this was Rosamunde Pilcher's son, but always enjoyed her books set in Scotland and this was no different. A bit trite, but enjoyed it none the less. "

" I love reading Rosemunde Pilcher's books. I think I own every one of them. This book, by her son, was in the same caliber. Always makes me want a hot cup of tea and a boiled egg. "

" This is a well-told story with a twist at the end that made it worth reading. I enjoyed all of R. Pilcher's books, and her sons are not bad either. "

" A very satisfying read! If you're a fan of authors Maeve Binchy or Rosamunde Pilcher, you will enjoy this book. I enjoyed the Scotland setting, and the surprise ending. "

" The characters don't act logically much of the time. This is always a bother to me. It is just sort of ho-hum interesting. Kate Reading is a very good narrator, but the story was just not appealing to me. I did finish it. It was tolerable enough for that. "

" Good book, started slow but then picked up "

" Good, not great. Predictable and not a single murder- and sometimes, you just need no murders, ya know? "

" The author kept you wondering who is the good guy and who is the bad guy right up to the end... and I'm not telling. "

" Enjoyed, though the ending seemed way more convoluted than necessary and somewhat unbelievable. The "English" terms were... interesting. "

" First time for this author, I used to read his mother's novels in Readers Digest Condensed form. A midlife rememberace of a young love..facing older parents life changes,planning for those changes when there are step-siblings. A sweet story, no blood and gore. "

" A wonderful book about friendship that was challenged and then renewed. "

" Loved this book right from the beginning to the very end. I would highly recommend it. Claire Barclay is the main character and you meet her as a child through to her adult life. "

" Fairly good. First Robin Pilcher I have read. I am a big fan of his mother, so I thought I would give him a try. Probably will read more books by him. "

" Sweet story. He does not write as well as his mother, but he always tells a nice Scottish story with a little twist. "

" Not too bad of a story. Found it really picked up the second half of the book. "

" The plot is engaging though often far-fetched, but the characters are flat and there is no exploration of the characters emotional world. Though one would want to turn the pages (in "read" it in audio format) to find out the ending of the book, having reached there, one would find it so empty. "

" A loosely plotted novel, which falls far short of any real impact or depth. "

" A good holiday read for me, I enjoyed the characters. Some good twists at the end. "
