Disappointed

I’ve enjoyed the preceding book narrations as five stars. What makes them appealing is their uniquely English aspects. This attempt to make the series more acceptable to an American audience is a flop. A pale imitation of what made the narration of the series great. Fire the US distributor and revert to the UK English narration and vocabulary.

Miss the other narrator!

Could not follow Simon Mattacks had to switch to reading from my kindle. Story was great narration terrible could not follow who was speaking Nick,Jane,Louise all had the same voice.

Where's Napoleon Ryan??

I have really enjoyed this series, but the change of narrator is extremely disappointing.
He's a fine narrator, but after the whole series being done by Napoleon Ryan, it's a big let down.
I hope we can get a version of this book narrated by him in the near future.

i really enjoy this series

i came across this series by mistakes and glad i did. i missed the d narrator on this one but this narrator did not fail to impress keep up the great writing.

i Ok but slow

status off good but takes a long time to
complete but it slows down so much

More complex plot than some others in the series

This installment of the series has a more complex plot than others I’ve read in it. It has a good start then tends to drag in the middle when additional villians come into play. By the end, all complications are wrapped up satisfactorily and advancing DI Nick Dixon’s personal story. Even with some pacing faults a mystery by Damien Boyd outshines 95% of the rest.
The ensemble cast continues to entertain.
Great narration carries the listener through the weaker plot points, making this another successful series entry.

I miss the former narrator

Story quality is interesting as usual, BUT the former narrator was so talented and the new narration is just adequate.

Reading

So glad the reader changed. I could not listen to Swansong with that reader. Ugh.

Needs Original Narrator.

Another great Nick Dixon novel In desperate need of the Original. Hopefully next book has Titus.

Slow Start, Fine Finish

Seemed like a chase scene, then plot thickened. Good human interest with Monte the dog, and Jane.
Simon Mattacks, my favorite narrator, didn't disappoint.
