in my library .Wondered why I hadn't listened to it. Starting to listen and knew why.The only worst is another I couldn't stand.Vintage Murder.. How could James Saxon be hired to read more than one book.Don know why I got them.The story in Vintage Murder wasn't to bad.but this is terrible. Can't believe one of my favorite authors wrote it
