Love Lathen Hate production
I kept listening to the end, because this is the one Lathen I haven't read, but it was an excruciating experience. The background "music" is a terrible, just audible, humming and thrumming - except when it becomes excessive traffic noise. The whole thing sounds like the narrator is standing in a subway station and taking the elevator up once in a while. Lathen writes smoothly. John Thatcher is a smooth detective. The narrator has a gravel voice that should be used for noir, except that he can't narrate - literally, can't narrate. He sounds like a man who is trying to read a book without his glasses. There are lots of tripped over words and silences in all the wrong places just in one measly sentence. Multiply that by every sentence and I can only hope that Audible did not pay much for these sorry productions. Perhaps Deaver Brown was an enthusiast and produced these by himself because he's poverty stricken? That's the only reason I can see for him to be reading any book aloud. If I could give the production a zero rating, I would. Which saddens me, because Emma Lathen is a modern classic.
