Love the Story; Hate the Narrator
Revisado: 11-04-24
I always love the plots, storylines and characters. I’ve recently rediscovered Emma Latham and really prefer audiobooks these days. So, I’ve been re-listening to the books. The Narrator’s voice and intonation are alright even though the intellectual Thatcher would never butcher the words over three syllables. The hesitant speech style works but doesn’t excuse poor reading skills. I find I can’t figure out what whole sentences mean, at times. BUT, I just can’t stand the Narrator’s foreign pronunciations. French is awful; Spanish is terrible and don’t even bother with Greek. This is one of the books I just can’t listen to for a second time. It’s really too bad.

Revisado: 10-01-24
The story and plot line are very engrossing. All of the clues are laid out clearly so you cannot complain that something has been sprung out of the blue. Thatcher is such a great character and the weaving of his personality and financial background makes for very entertaining mystery. Also the dialogue is very well written and clever.
The ONLY criticism is unfortunately a big one. The reader is barely tolerable. I like the voice although it could be a little more polished. BUT, the constant mispronunciations and stumbling over words and complete sentences is maddening. I read these books 30 years ago. I enjoyed them so much that when I accidentally found them on Audible I decided to listen to them all over again. The books are just as enjoyable even though the times are somewhat dated I find that makes them even more interesting. BUT PLEASE can the reader prepare better or edit some of the bigger problems? It really cuts into my enjoyment.
