Terrible writing

Revisado: 07-06-19

This book is awful. The dialogue is ridiculous and the story is dull. I usually like Baldacci, but this seems to have been written by someone else.
The narration is overblown and difficult to listen to.

Not as good as usual

Revisado: 05-16-18

I really don’t like the narrator. His attempt at an Asian accent is ridiculous. The story needed better editing. It’s long and meandering and certainly not what I’d expect from this author.

Simple, cosy mystery

Revisado: 03-18-18

This series of books is easy to listen to yet the mystery is still interesting. The narrator is fine but I think she could do a better job with inflection within the context of the sentences and paragraphs; a producer or director should be more in control.

Is there anyone listening for errors or directing these narrators?

Revisado: 09-07-16

I enjoy Baldacci's stories, but have always thought his editors were a little easy on him. Some of the dialogue is just poorly written. My main problem, as this is an audio book, is the mispronunciation and poor reading skills of the professional narrators. I assumed there was someone who was at least producing the narrations, but the number of errors tells me no one is paying attention.

Predictable Story with Awful Narrator

Revisado: 06-30-16

Any additional comments?

The story is common and predictable. The description was much more entertaining than the book. The narrator is horrible. He has trouble with pronunciation and his Irish brogue is embarrassing.

Important story; well written

Revisado: 06-14-16

This is a beautifully written historical fiction that is well researched which highlights a largely unknown story. I highly recommend it.

Can't take the narrator anymore

Revisado: 05-29-16

What made the experience of listening to The Moor: A Novel of Suspense Featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes the most enjoyable?

The story is great and writing quite good.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the setting and the references to WW1.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She uses the most annoying voice for Holmes which makes it hard to keep going.
She also does the worst accents I've ever heard.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I had to break it up because of the annoying narration.

Is that supposed to be a British accent?

Revisado: 05-24-16

This is a wonderful story, but the narrator attempts British accents throughout. He does not do it well. It detracts from the story and is completely unnecessary.

Way too cute for me

Revisado: 04-08-16

I'm not looking for hard-hitting drama or anything, but honestly this is like Barry Fitzgerald wearing green and sporting the necessary twinkle in his eye.

Why is it so hard to pronounce words properly?

Revisado: 01-01-16

Would you try another book from Alan Dean Foster and/or Marc Thompson?

The story is great but I really disliked the narration. Marc Thompson overacts, cannot use non-American accents, and pronounces words wrong. I will keep away from this narrator from now on.
