Interesting story, Disappointing Performance

Revisado: 10-22-24

The male performer reads stories well, but I wouldn’t call him a voice actor. You can’t tell the men from the women, much less tell the interesting men apart. Mexican, American, young, old, angry, passionate, they all sound the same. If you remember the old school radio guy Casey Kasem, that’s who he sounds like. I’m pushing through this two-book story to get to the next which has Patrick Zeller and Ada Sinclair back at the mic, thank goodness!

I want more!

Revisado: 09-25-23

I’m so disappointed that I didn’t find this story a few years from now after a few more books featuring Beatrice’s adventures had been published because I hate waiting! The book is witty, insightful, and the mystery drew me in from the start. The performance was also outstanding.

I can’t wait to learn more about Mary and I’m interested to see what becomes of Drake and his partnership with Beatrice. I’ll be waiting for any follow up with eager anticipation

Exhausting

Revisado: 12-28-22

I tried to finish but the storyline was tedious. The plot was plodding (sorry) and the mystery wasn’t reveled for many chapters. The dialogue was stilted and If I heard “she said” or “he said” one more time I was going to scream. And with more than 123,000,000 Americans existing at the time of these storylines this author is determined to show a monolithic type in any story where she includes one.

Darcy and Georgie have run their course for me, but I wish them well on their future tepid adventures.

I couldn’t finish it

Revisado: 09-01-22

If the writer doesn’t have a thesaurus I’m happy to donate one. If the characters “said” something one more time I was going to lose it. Back it goes, because on a dialogue rich story hearing “she said” repeatedly was exhausting.

I was warned but I didn’t listen!

Revisado: 08-27-22

I read the reviews about the voice actress and thought they were exaggerating. Sadly, they were not.

Her performance reminded me of a South African pretending to be Canadian while trying to execute various British accents. It was a little like Renee Zellweger in the Bridget Jones movies but without her finesse. Every character sounded the same and you often couldn’t tell the men from the women. I only listened to the end because it’s the last book in the trilogy, and I wanted to see if I’d correctly guessed the ending (I did).

I’m sure the performer is a lovely actress but as an audio reader she’s the worst I’ve insured. Pure torture.

I made it through to the end!

Revisado: 04-14-21

I’ve enjoyed the Daisy Darlymple series; however, this one was painful to get through.

The atrocious American accents were painful enough, but when you add the oddly placed 1920’s slang it became unbearable. It sounded like a B movie with C list actors.

I’m not a quitter so I stuck with it until the end, cringing at every turn.
