Disappointing
Revisado: 11-28-18
I am a long time fan of Emma Lathen. I was delighted to see that Audible would be carrying her books.
However . . . .
This is quite possibly the worst recording I have ever purchased from Audible. Aside from the distracting (and in many places irrelevant) sound effects, the reader is wrong for these books. He sounds significantly older than the characters and he stumbles over simple words. These errors were not corrected by the sound editor, so evidently this reader was deemed acceptable to the production company.
I am so disappointed that the other books in this series are read by the same reader. I strongly recommend you listen to a sample of the book (either version, with/without sound effects) before purchase.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 119
A train on its way to the northern reaches of Norway careens off the track during a massive blizzard, 1,222 meters above sea level. The passengers abandon the train for a nearby, century-old hotel that is practically empty except for the staff. With plenty of food and shelter from the storm, the passengers think they are safe - until one of them turns up dead. With no sign of rescue and the storm continuing to rage, retired police inspector Hanne Wilhelmsen is asked to investigate. Paralyzed by a bullet lodged in her spine, Hanne has no wish to return to police work.

Would you consider the audio edition of 1222: The Hanne Wilhelmsen Novels, Book 8 to be better than the print version?
In English, please.
Narrator could not have been more perfect. A quiet book. More, please.
