Enjoyed this book as much as others in the series but was annoyed that the narrator hadn’t done his homework. It’s di- j- oxin not di-g-oxin and annik Castle not olnwick.

Pronunciation

Some of the accents did not ring true. The Welsh accent sounded Asian and another accent soundedJapanese.

Poor accents

I have been slowly working my way through this seties with gaps in between. This was not my favourite as I felt there was a bit of a “recipe” that was been followed similar to earlier books. However, it was still a good story but totally spoilt by the accents the narrator attempted. They were cringeworthy!

Quite a good story but awful accents

Good storyline but narration not so good. The accents of some of the characters were hard to define both from each other and location.

Rather disappointing

Hooked to this series now as I love the characters complexity but oh the narration!!
If the stories hadn’t been so good I would have given up long before now but I had thought I was getting used the narration. The accents are atrocious and seem to be getting worse! Scouse & Black Country bloody awful but then the Chinese female accent was actually offensive.

Oh the Narration!
