Narrator is hard to listen to

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend this book if you like a simple who-done-it. The story in the book is good but the narrator is tough to listen too. She tries hard to be southern and fails in the attempt. Her struggle to pronounce each and every word perfectly drags the story on and on. I had to forward the tape to the end to get through the last hour. If there was a different narrator I would consider listening to more books in this series.

What aspect of Teresa DeBerry’s performance would you have changed?

For her to not try so hard to be southern or not be so determined to enunciate each and every word as if she was talking to people who have difficulty understanding English.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Probably not.
