Poor reader ruins a good story.

The worst reader I have encountered after listening to over two thousand audiobooks. The pauses in the middle of a word, and the myriad mispronunciations of words and common names made it very difficult to persevere to the end.

Unfortunate reader

John Putnam Thatcher was a favorite series detective character of mine, but unfortunately the reader makes this audio version pretty much unbearable. I suggest listening to a minute of the audio before purchasing to gauge your tolerance for a monotone rendition with gasps and snorts and odd stops and starts.
