Disappointing, especially the narration

A disappointment from an author I like. Full of unlikeable characters making poor decisions, misplaced empathy throughout, rampant excuse making for choices made.
More disappointing than the book was the narration. Two narrators using overly affected character voicing. The result was extremely distracting, especially the attempt to voice the male characters. Rachel's voice, OMG, was awful. Remember narrators, less can be more. Inflection can be used effectively to identify different characters in a scene. Narrators attempting to do multiple unique voices, more often comes across as irritating and distracting, rather than effective. Certainly the case here.

Stop the inaudible phone call narration!

Would have rated this a little higher if not for the ridiculous effect used when portraying a phone call. What’s the purpose of having the other end of the call being almost inaudible? Does the producer not understand that listeners are not in a sound-proof room when listening. Why not allow the narrator to maintain a normal sound level and voice for the other party on the line? The whole effect is so frustrating and distracting, it pisses me off as a listener.
The story premise and execution is a little out there as to plausibility and the interplay between some of the main characters is a little too touchy-feely for my tastes. My main takeaway though is the horrible phone conversation effect used throughout the book.

Loved the story but hated the narration. With a heavy Scottish accent, I felt the narration almost needed a translator. This would have been a much more enjoyable read rather than listen.

We have the somewhat typical lone wolf detective with issues, yet the story itself is good, violent yes, but good.
My problem is the narration. I’m generally okay with most accents but this narrator laid on a heavy Scottish brogue that rendered portions of the book unintelligible.
