Good Story Not So Good Narration

I read the previous reviews and I totally agree with lots of them. Great listen to pass the time by if you can get past the robotic narration.

Beautifully written & narrated

When it ended I thought what a great place to live, sp spiritual.
hen after listening to Jiffy I came to the conclusion I must be related to him.

Passed the time

Standard fare for Wendy Corsi Staub, I recall reading some of her work many years ago. Light entertainment.

Fire the narrator!!!

Interesting, despite the spiritual stuff. The narrator sounds like she's reading a children's book though. Bloody awful!

Better narrates than the previous book in the series

To my English ear, the narrator sounds a little robotic at times. It was more noticeable in the last book though.
The English accent for the English character is more consistent. In the last book it was a mixture of Mancunian and Cockney. This time it is more consistently faux posh English and more believable.

I didn’t guess at the outcome and was engaged with the book. So it fits into the ‘good yarn’ category.

Stormy read

I did enjoy this book but found a lot of things got over explained several time which isn't necessary. The ghost aspect is something and nothing, either the ghost need to help or just leave it up to the premonitions. Nobody sees the ghosts (they she know what they are saying) but put everything slightly weird down to them, the singing of Christmas songs got annoying because everyone could hear them and tried to explain them away without interpreting there meaning. I loved every time Jiffy or Max were on the scene and they even invoked a couple of chuckles from me, the things children come up with. The story follows several characters as it unfolds, this works because there is a number of aspects to the case with a murder investigation and the search for the missing boy. Not my favourite ghost series but the characters are interesting enough for me to visit them again.
Jiffy has been predicting he will be kidnapped on a snowy day for months, so when he goes missing it is no surprise to his best friend seven year old Max. What is a surprise is the dead body the washes up on the shoreline hours before. The dead man had connections to the mob but why would his killer target a young boy? In Lily Dale of all places? Jiffy's mum uses her gift to try and track down her son but Bella (Max's mum) will have to decode strange texts and christmas music if she wants to find her son's best friend.
I like the narrator. She uses different voices for the characters, I especially liked the voice she used for the boys.

Couldn't listen!

I only managed to get as far as chapter 3 then had to give up! The narrator is dreadful so I can't even tell you if the story is any good

extraordinarily awful due to narrator

I can't stand this voice, it's truly awful. The book may be good, I'll never know because it's read so badly.

Good story

Please re-record using a better narrator, it’s done your book an injustice!!! I hope this gets re-recorded.

Awful narration

Having enjoyed another book by this author with a fantastic plot and narrator I downloaded this. Couldn’t listen to more than a chapter as the narrators voice is grating and ridiculously over the top on accents.

Real shame as the author is so good.
