"The Skin Map" an audio book by Stephen Lawhead review

"The Skin Map" by Stephen Lawhead, is the story of Kit Livingstone, who accidentally finds a Ley Line, which is a form of time travel.  He sees his great grandfather, Cosimo, who has been dead for 100 years.  Cosimo instructs Kit into the Ley Lines.  Kit then finds his way back to his time, and finds his girlfriend, Wilhelmina (Mina) is rather upset that he was late.  So, to explain to her what happened to him, he takes her to the Ley Line, but they end up getting separated.  She ends up in Prague, with a coffee house and pastry shop.  He is trying to find pieces to the puzzle, and find Mina again. 

The story is filled with murder, mystery and intrigue.  There is a map, tattooed on skin (hence the skin map), that everyone is after, as it unlocks the secrets.

I struggled in the first couple of chapters, getting used to the narrator's (Simon Bubb) English accent.  But, after I was used to it, the story was very interesting.  The narrator did an excellent job in doing all the different voices for each character!

This was a good book, and kept you interested along the way!  The characters do go to pubs, and drink their ales.  I do wish the author would leave that out, as I would like to see Christian books without alcohol in them.  However, aside from that, I can't wait for the next book!
