About this listen

Chandos Avenue is a five-bedroomed house in one of the most sought after areas of Beodericsworth. Owned by Jason Barker, John Handful is slightly reluctant to answer a letter demanding his services by the Chairman of Beodericsworth Ornithological Society. Entering the strange world of bird-watching Handful is a little at a loss at his ability to help. He is apparently meant to consult on someone embezzling the society's funds and Jason Barker's reoccurring dream, of death, something not usually within his remit. The dream haunts Jason and only 24 hours after dismissing the bemused detective the dream becomes real. What ensues is a perplexing short story in which everyone is thrown into disarray and the mystery of secret lovers, flowers and a death that is not as it appears, slowly unfolds.

by putting speed at 1.10 the narration didn't distract so much from the narrative. interesting short story. (was free to me with a code). once I'd got used to the narrator's delivery, on balance yes I'd read others in the series.

Good story but has been let down by the narrator. Personally I found them very monotone and gave little definition between characters, making it hard to follow. it sounded almost robotic.

Good Story

The narrator is robotic in his delivery, there’s no inflection in his tone. This is a short story with a mystery to solve which means it has to grab your attention early to keep you invested in the outcome, unfortunately the monotone delivery affects this greatly.
