Good story but poor narrator

I’ve listened to all of Tom Hindle’s books and found them to be a bit hit and miss, but I did enjoy this one. It was slow to start, with the murder not happening until halfway through, but it was well written enough with interesting characters that I was enjoying the story anyway. I guessed the murderer early on, as well as some of the foreshadowing, but still had a good time with the story and how they worked it out.

The narrator had a really odd, cracked way of talking, so a lot of the time it sounded like she was on the verge of tears, which was irritating. I eventually got used to it, but I will avoid books narrated by her in future.
