Excellent story

This is one of my favorite books in the Aunt Dimity series. I found it after reading several others. Nice to know how it all began.

quality

the narration was choppy, almost robotic. Bill's character was the worst. pronunciation was off on many words.

cozy mystery

Clean, warming, comforting.
I expected more drastic of a reason for Dimity's guilt. Still good.

A nice cozy mystery adventure

Narrator gives a good try at the various British accents (Cockney, BBC, etc.) and succeeds for the most part. The sweeping historical back story set during WWII carries you forward to the end.

Really, the narrator ruins this

I seriously thought the narrator was a robot. It's difficult to listen to. I haven't listened to many Audible books, now I know to check reviews about the narrator. You'd think Amazon could afford better voice talent.

Great story.... narration lacking.

I love this story. The narration is good until the narrator tries doing voices of other characters, especially the English, Scottish, and upper class Boston males. As the main character, the narrator is good, and even as an English woman she is tolerable. That being said I don’t think any single person of any gender could do Aunt Dimity justice.

Looking forward to more

This was a delightful story and I look forward to reading more of the series. The narrator was talented but I was a little tired of the multitude of accents. I listen to novels because it’s easier than reading for me but I don’t expect a play. One or two key voices is fine

Narrator sounds like she is reading.

The story is kind of interesting but I couldn't finish it because the narrator reads it without emotion or drama, like she is reading it for the first time.

No cannot finish this book

The story is boring the Narrator appalling. I had to change the narration speed to to try to make it better but then the story bored me silly - I got this for a credit and still couldn't stand it

A favorite book, but the narration...

I have really liked this book since I read it many years ago. It's too bad that they used such a terrible narrator with such a poor sense of pacing. I bought this Audible book in spite of the performance, but it really does detract from the charming story.
