This started out very interesting but once it got to miss clack, the church lady, it became annoying and boring. I couldn’t listen any longer.

I was very surprised when I started listening to the book. First of all, it is narrated in "old English" with sentence structure and wording used in the 1800's England. The storyline is very slow moving. It takes over 20 hours to get to the point of "whodunit". I would not recommend this book if you are not willing to listen to old prose and an English accent that is sometimes hard to understand. I'm only 16 hours into the book but forcing myself to finish it since I paid for it.

Too long and the ending was a letdown after its build up.

It was really long-winded had to rewind a few times to understand what they were saying. But overall good
