Summary

Best seller The Oyster Catcher is Jo Thomas' first irresistibly feel-good audiobook, set on the coast of Ireland.

Dooleybridge, County Galway: the last place Fiona Clutterbuck expects to end up, alone, on her wedding night. But after the words 'I do' have barely left her mouth, that's exactly where she is - with only her sequinned shoes and a crashed camper van for company.

One thing is certain: Fi can't go back. So when the opportunity arises to work for a brooding local oyster farmer, Sean Thornton, she jumps at the chance. Now Fi must navigate suspicious locals, jealous rivals and an unpredictable boss if she's to find a new life, and love, on the Irish coast. And nothing - not even a chronic fear of water - is going to hold her back.

Join Fi as she learns the rules of the ocean - and picks up a few pearls of Irish wisdom along the way....

Thoroughly enjoyable

After listening to a great many psychological murder mystery stories this has come as a great find. It’s a feel good story and I love all the characters and their stories. Will look for more from Jo Thomas, particularly if read by Katy Sobey.

Good story.

Good story, unfortunately I didn't enjoy the narration, mainly because the narrator seemed very flat and monotone, the portrayal of the main characters were particularly dull.
