Unabridged Audiobook
so typical of Heyer with a flowing yet humorous story line. Have read them all and now having them read to me with Audible, I find that this narrator lacks any credibility in her narrative and, if I hadn’t known the story, I would have scrapped the reading completely because my ears were abused. Totally misread to the point of making me grit my teeth at incorrect expression, wrong use of punctuation and so little difference between each character’s voice. Come on Audible- these stories cost money - we deserve better this.
Always a huge fan of Heyer's Regency romances, and this is a good one. Narrator annoyed me by mispronouncing several words (seriously, it's your job, no excuses); and, the most annoying thing, is not saying "Ma-MAH" and "Pa-PAH". This is Regency England, we don't have mommas and poppas.
I like the book, even thought it's not one of my favourites by Heyer. But I absolutely disliked the narrator- there were such awkward pauses and weird intonation.
Terrible narration. Many quite ordinary words are mispronounced. Horrible "character" voices.
Oh dear - sorry to say that the story was spoilt for me by the narration. Rather jerky speech and so annoying that whenever the word “the” was followed by a word beginning with a vowel there was a strange inflection in the narrator’s voice - also some mispronunciation of words. Such a shame when other Penguin audio books of Heyer have been so good.
