About this listen

The year is 1562. Lady Catherine Grey, cousin of Elizabeth I, has just been arrested along with her husband, Edward. Their crime is to have secretly married and produced a child who might threaten the Queen's title. Alone in her chamber at the Tower of London, Catherine hears ghostly voices; echoes, she thinks, of a crime committed in the same room where she is imprisoned.

The story is gripping, weaving good tales around fact. The narration is fine, with female voices but oh my goodness her ‘male’ voices are bizarre. They all sound the same no matter what the situation - overly paused, stilted and a weird tone like a cross between an evil Tony Blair and a Siamese cat, absolutely dreadful and totally ruined a good audiobook. I will be looking out for this narrator - and avoiding.

As expected from such a wonderful writer a book to enthrall. Spoilt by dreadful narration. Why the narrator used silly voices for the characters I can’t imagine and why was this passed as acceptable? I could not carry on listening and will revert to reading.

I loved this book and overall enjoyed the experience, but the narrator has a really off-putting approach to the male voices. The female ones aren't too bad, but all the men sound like the same Bond villain - even the nice ones! Young men sounded very old, all of them sounded utterly evil and constantly angry. It really impaired the story, which is centred around the contrast between positive and negative male/ female relationships.

Great story, bizarre narration

This is 1 of my favourite audiobooks, the storyline is very well thought out. I just don't understand, why the reader has to SHOUT while narrating some of the characters??

Why all the shouting?
