Bad narrator

The story is pretty decent, but the narration is not good at all. Many mispronounced words, and generally poor enunciation meant I had to skip back more than a few times to listen more carefully, or to figure out what a word was supposed to be from the context. Also there are sections repeated by the narrator and not edited. Very annoying.

Good story, good reader, bad editor.

What did you like best about Murder in Halruaa? What did you like least?

the story was enticing from the start, as the mystery of what is going on is revealed to the main character at the same time as the reader.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Murder in Halruaa?

three were many relatively useful names of characters, which created several puns including chapter titles

Any additional comments?

My major complaint comes down to the editing. there are two or three mistakes that the reader makes, repeating a sentence or flubbing a line. the sound editor did not catch these. I have never heard an audible book that shoddily checked.
