Unable to finish

This is a book I will have to read myself. I kept trying to work out why I wasn’t enjoying it and I came to the conclusion that it really sounded like it was being read rather than performed and it irritated me so much I couldn’t finish. It sounded like a series of statements.

Murder in The Oxford Canal

Narration was good which made for an ordinary listen. I had thought several times to archive it but plodded into the finish.

Good story

Narration was awful! Good voice but jumped scene without any pause so confusing to keep track. I switched between audible and kindle to keep track as a result!

boring, too much description,

We started listening to this on a long road trip but it was so tedious it almost put us to sleep. Only worth listening to if you have insomnia.

You unconvincing characters

Shallow character development, cringe use of idiom, light plot. Failed to hold my attention although played it through to the end.

Detective British Style

Fast paced, down to earth, many faceted, English police detective, surprisingly engaging and excellent to listen to!
