Rubbish ending

We have a new voice and it has thrown me right out. Ron now has a head cold, Jim who is supposed to be Irish goes from Home Counties to cockney and Rosie sounds like a prossy. Ruined this book for me. Please be consistent

Please don’t change the reader .

Loved it!

Great sequel to a series, although it was a disappointment to find that a change of narrator happened. As good as she was, her voice did match with the characters I had come to know and identify through the other narrators various voices for each character. It took me longer to process the characters. Such a shame not to be consistent with the voices of each character.

Lovely story
