Sent by the War Office to follow the notorious Black Panther, file clerk turned secret agent Fiona Figg is under strict orders not to get too close and not to wear any of her usual “get-ups”. But what self-respecting British spy can resist a good disguise? Within hours of her arrival in Paris, Fiona is up to her fake eyebrows in missing maids, jewel thieves, double agents, and high treason.

This could be great but…..

This teaches me for in buying in haste before reading reviews. Was not expecting an Agatha Christie-level story, but hoped for a nice relaxing listen. But this is just beyond a disappointment.
The book itself is probably fine and even uses reasonably passable English - which the unfortunate narrator cannot seem to manage.
The narration is simply disastrous. The mispronunciation starts as annoying and distracting, but ends up being such a train-wreck it becomes it’s own form of entertainment. I can overlook unfortunate accent work but bless this girl, she bungles some pretty basic words - over and over… and over….again.
One would have hoped that an editor might catch some of the more egregious errors and bail this poor child out. But no. And based on the reviews this complete lack of care extends to several books in the series.
It’s an insult to listeners, the author, and the Queen’s English.
