Terrible audio quality again
Don't bother with this, the audio is shocking. I keep trying these bolinda titles but never again.
Very poor

Classic Francis
Another cracking story from Dick Francis. This one split into two related tales centring on a computer betting system. The description of the computer program dates this one a little, but it's still absolutely first rate. Recommended.

Narration quality was varied. Difference marked and spoiled story. An enjoyable story but not one to recommend.

Great book, love Dick Francis
It was a great story & brilliant narrator however the recording was somewhat faulty & the quality of recording jumped btw chapters. A bit annoying as Francis is one of my favourite authors so it’s spoilt the experience

Excellent story and narration spoiled a little by technical quality
As usual from both author and narrator an excellent story. This was a little marred by the sound variations. Only to be expected. I suppose owing to the age of the recording and the fact that it was probably recorded on tape which stretches and degrades. However with modern technology it should not be beyond Audible/Bolinda to improve this audiobook since they are charging for it.
Although I thought I knew the Dick Francis books this one was new to me but still very engrossing

Sound issues
Shame it was a poor recording because the plotting was great with an excellent narrator.

Refund please!!
I had to turn it off because of the terrible audio which slowed down and sped up every so often making the book sound decidedly sinister. I’d like to spend my credit on something that is, in fact, audible.

Not the best
Usually a fabulous winning team- Francis and Britten, but not this time.The story is not up to the expected standard and the editing is dreadful. It sounds as though sections have been done in totally different conditions and a couple of them just don’t sound like Tony Britten at all.
