Look it up.
In the world of Google, there is little excuse for mispronunciation of unfamiliar words. Fray-nel lens, not frez-nel for instance. It reduces enjoyment for the listener. So, story is good but 5 minutes prep by narrator would help.

better than the first book
I still cannot stand watson he does not act like a good detective. The mysteries are fairly simple and easy to figure out but thats the vibe this series is supposed to give off. louise jane shouls not.even be included as a character she is way to annoying and shallow for my taste. but i.love again the description the smoothness of daily life of Lucy and her personality along with the cute cat charles. Lucy is a good character and representative of an independent woman. I like that in a female lead.
