A Mind to Murder: Inspector Adam Dalgliesh, Book 2

This early PD James story is quite good though not as satisfying as her more recent novels. However, the sound quality is poor and makes listening to the story an ordeal. I suspect that it's just copied from an old cassette with no attempt made to clean up the audio. I would recommend that all recordings of this quality be removed from Audible's library until the sound can be enhanced by modern techniques.

I enjoyed the story, as I usually do P.D. James' work. Unfortunately the uneven quality of both the narration and the recording itself made listening to this book almost painful.

Marsden, the narrator, speaks back in his throat, and unless I was wearing headphones I missed a good deal of the story. To compound matters, it appeared to me that he used different recording equipment throughout the book. The recording quality from one paragraph to another was startling different. To make sure it wasn't my imagination, I listened via headphones and various sets of speakers, through my iPod, and on two different laptops.

Too bad such a good story was ruined by a poor reading and poor recording.

This audiblebook has been most difficult to listen to, as the reader appears to be rushing in his reading, and the sound quality is horrible. If this becomes available with perhaps Michael Jayston reading, I shall certainly repurchase it so as to be able to hear and listen comfortably.

I usually enjoy PD James novels but this is poor at best. Very boring and slow moving. The monotone narration didn't help the slow to develope plot. It is the first book from Audible that I wish I could have sent back.

Found it hard to listen because of the terrible sound quality. Although I liked Marsden as the Inspector on the tv series, he's a little monotonous as a narrator. Otherwise, typical PD James -- which is pretty good.

The sound quality was poor and sadly affected the enjoyment of a book by a favourite author.
