Audiobooks narrated by Samuel West

Reads the Inspector Morse novels, one reader across the run, which is why the Morse page here lists its books under his name; the short-story collection is his too. Beyond Morse he narrates Brian Cox, reads Michael Dobbs's House of Cards novels and A. S. Byatt's Possession, and shares the later Tolkien volumes — Unfinished Tales, The Fall of Gondolin — with Timothy West.
