This Narrator Ruins Every Book She Reads

Revisado: 03-04-24

I enjoyed the story itself, but, once again, my overall enjoyment was significantly reduced by the narrator, Charlotte Anne Dore. It is a mystery to me why multiple authors continue to use her, despite consistently bad reviews for her performances. Her male voices are unrealistic and, even, odd-sounding, her regional accents are either very wrong or simply non-existent, and she mispronounces so many words (even common ones) that I lose count while listening, and find it consistently distracting. I have reached the point now where I will purposely avoid purchasing books for which she is the narrator, in favor of absolutely anyone else. I wish authors would take the time to read these reviews, because I am far from alone in my feelings about this, and other narrators could be hired instead, who would not ruin the authors work.

Horrible narrator

Revisado: 11-18-23

I am a fan of Kate Hewitt’s books, but this was a real disappointment for a few reasons. The worst was the awful narrator. She seems to think she was in Australia! It was so bad, I could hardly concentrate on the story. Also, the book was full price but turned out to be only three hours long. (It may have said it somewhere, but I didn’t think to look around for it.) And, finally, the story itself, while pleasant, reminded me quite a bit of the book that takes place in the Orkney Islands. All in all, a waste of time and money from an otherwise good writer.

Awful narrator

Revisado: 09-14-23

Fun story, but the narration was so bad, it really spoiled my enjoyment. The male characters, in particular, sounded unrealistic, even bizarre. I will look for other books in the series that are read by other narrators from now on.

Do not like this reader!

Her voice is grating and her reading is not smooth and flowing, as it should be. I much preferred Penelope Keith!
