I couldn’t wait to listen to this story-but from the beginning there was a piano playing behind the narrative-intensely annoying and a major detractor.
I couldn’t listen to any more than 15 minutes-I purchased another version and look forward to listening without a damned piano playing-jeeesh!
Stay away from this-don’t waste your money/credit.

Piano!
