What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The story line itself was a decent listen-in-the-car story. The narration was truly awful--jerky, not "acted" at all--it sounded like it was being read by someone not used to reading for others.
If you’ve listened to books by Patricia Gussin before, how does this one compare?
n/a
Would you be willing to try another one of Linda Velwest’s performances?
Never.

Wow, story not bad (I think) but can't be sure because of the frequent first aid to my bleeding ears interrupting the storyline -- all due to the HORRIFIC narration. Please, no more!!!! She makes all male characters sound like whiny 5-year olds. And makes a competent female surgeon sound more like a blonde bimbo.
