bad narration
Good stories but let down by the worst reader ever. No emotion, no change of pace to match the story, no attempt to change voice for characterisation. Who on earth thought Cathy Dobson would make a good narrator? Just the sound of her voice makes me want to pull my intestines out of my mouth! Definitely the worst performer on Audible.

Such an annoying voice
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I tried really hard to listen to this book, I had paid for it so did not want to waste my money, but the narrator has such an annoying voice and needlessly extends the ends of sentances that after struggling through the first story I had to give up.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Ger a different reader
Would you be willing to try another one of Cathy Dobson’s performances?
Never!
