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.
