Summary
On a clear autumn morning in 2004, Rachel O'Reilly, a 30-year-old mother of two, was brutally battered to death in her home. It was a merciless killing that stunned the small, trusting community where she lived, and devastated her close-knit family.
In the days that followed the discovery of her body, it was thought that Rachel was the victim of a bungled robbery attempt. It soon emerged, however, that police investigating the case believed Rachel had known her killer and that her murder had been carefully planned months in advance. The spotlight immediately fell upon Rachel's husband, Joe O'Reilly, who admitted in a number of extraordinary press interviews that he was a prime suspect in his wife's slaying. The 32-year-old advertising executive vehemently denied any involvement. It was a crime that captured the imagination of the public, who watched as the illusion of the idyllic suburban life the couple shared together began to shatter.

Terrible accent interpretation
The Irish accents are really dire and over the top stereotypical. Nearly put me off listening tbh

Suspect
Brilliant story but please audible stop getting narration that’s from a different country to put other countries accents on. They sound ridiculous. The worst Irish accent I’ve ever heard . And the Scottish one🙄. Just tell the story fgs.

worst narrator.
The over the top ' Oirish' accents by the Narrator were so bad and silly - bordering on being offensive to Irish people.

Gave Up
Apparently the narrator is an award winning voice over artist. I actually thought it was AI with the poor phrasing and mispronunciations given that the events happened in Ireland. Couldn’t stick with it I’m afraid.

Good book, totally let down by the narration
The narrator tries (poorly) to use an Irish accent for characters. Almost every place in the book is mid-prounounced, really taking from the experience (from a locals perspective). Should have been voiced by someone who is familiar with Ireland.

Disgraceful narration
Good story, however the narration was appalling and I have no choice but to give this 1 star. Whoever had anything to do with the selection of an American female narrator to very badly attempt Irish accents should be fired. I wanted to cut my ears off after 5 minutes.

Interesting
I enjoyed the story, pity the narrator sounded more Jamaican than Irish. No need for accents,
