Good story but…

The story moves slowly at first but picks up pace & becomes very intriguing. However, the narrator nearly made me stop listening. She has a breathy voice (which sort of fits the book) but tends to trail off at the end of sentences, making the last word or two disappear. While I enjoyed the book, I won’t be listening to any more by this narrator.

Ridiculous Narrator

The story was better than average for a serial mystery. The narrator lacks range for the characters and it often sounds like Moira Rose from the show Schitts Creek is reading the story. When she announces the next chapter, she says it in a way that one can imagine her rolling her eyes. Speeding up the narration is a must with this narrator.

No Stone

Good read attention grabbing thinking what else can go wrong? I liked this read very entertaining

The interesting characters and a great story line.

I really like the character development of all the characters. It was an enjoyable listen.

Bad accent. Good story.

English accent sounds fake and over done, particularly the pronunciation of “a”s. Can be quite distracting.

Great story, narrator not so much.

The story line was enjoyable however the narrator was terrible! I kept listening because the story kept me interested.

The Narrator is AWFUL

The narration is terrible. Unbelievably slow and odd inflections cadence. The performance really takes away from enjoying the book which is entertaining. Speed up the narration. I wish I had an option to change the narrator. lol

I skipped the middle

I would have returned this book if it weren’t included in my membership. The narration is awful and the story line too long. Lucy is not my favorite character. Perhaps with a different narrator the story might move along at a better pace

Predictable plot, irritating narrator disappoint

Narrator so irritating I almost returned for refund. Pseudo-aristocratic voice and pronunciation sounds contrived and forced. I will never buy another audiobook read by this narrator. As for the story itself, it was okay but nothing special, dragged on far longer than it needed to. I found the protagonist, Lucy Lawrence, boring and annoying and completely lacking in common sense. Historical mystery is a favorite genre for me, and I will read 50 or more in a year. Sadly, No Stone Unturned was a disappointment.
