My Thoughts on The Auld Mither by William Meikle, narrated by A.D. Milne
A man desperate to save his company just wants the attention and respect of the board. But then all chaos breaks out and blood spills…
Soon, the man’s daughter and son, Lucy and Dave, are forced to deal with the aftermath of their father’s sudden and gruesome death. Lucy is mourning but focused on what needs to be done, while Dave is bitter and drowns his feelings in alcohol.
Meanwhile, an investigator, named Roberts, is determined to solve the case, no matter what lengths he must go to.
Chapter one starts the story off on such a dark and intense note. Once I started the audiobook, I couldn’t turn it off! As it went on, I just got antsier and antsier to see what was going to happen. The whole story was tense, but those last two chapters specifically! Phew!
I absolutely loved the character development we saw from the main character, Dave, while on his quest toward healing and becoming his own man.
The brutal murders, the spooky folklore, and the fast-paced storyline made this a home run for me!
My Favorite Passages from The Auld Mither
He took a step inside, bracing himself for the possibility of an attack. Nothing moved.

She rubbed at her eyes. Hard. As if disgusted with herself and nodded, but something was gone from her eyes. Something that had made her Lucy. She might never be the same again.
My Final Thoughts on The Auld Mither
This was such a fun listen! The gore at the start really kicked things off on a brutal path, and things only got spookier from there!
