Love these dramas.
These BBC dramas are great & Baldi is a super detective.
But I do wish Audible would make the effort to get them in the right order before publishing them. Ep 2 comes before E 1 for example. That's the 3rd BBC drama series I've downloaded where this has happened. - UPDATE - Thank you audible for correcting this error now.

Whispering, damned whispering!
It's beginning to dawn on me that radio plays that are transferred to audiobook are an abomination.
It seems there are two main problems:
One, an imbalance in voice versus foley work - i.e the vocals are frustratingly drowned out by sound effects.
Two, the disproportionate use of hushed tones by the actors - not EVERYTHING can be that secret or intense can it?
For goodness sake, speak up!

Terrible sound quality
The stories and performances are good but it's impossible to listen to, as it goes from so quiet you can almost not hear it to incredibly loud. I could only get through the first 3 chapters then removed it from my library sadly.

Far too quiet...
I have listened to a Father Paolo mystery before and I love this type of audio book. It feels like your sat in a theatre with all the different actors. I love David Thelfall! He's an amazing actor, however, as other reviewers have stated you cannot hear what the actors are saying! it's just too quiet. I hate returning audiobooks but unfortunately that is what I have had to do.

A fascinating series of unusual and interesting investigations that were also entertaining. I would recommend these to anyone who wants a bit of light relief.

I think there's a glich in Chapter 19
I love these stories and this dramatisation is very enjoyable. However, when I got to the middle of chapter 19 the story on my ipod suddenly stopped and skipped on to the next book. Initially, I had the same problem when trying to listen from my laptop but eventually I could listen through to the end of chapter 19, and onwards from audible and itunes However, I cannot seem to resolve the problem of the full recording not being available on my ipod, even though it looks as though the chapters are there, the ipod cannot play anything after the middle of chapter 19. I've tried downloading again, a couple of times, but to no avail. I've never experienced any issues like this before. If anyone at Audible could look at the recording and let me know if there is any resolvable issue with chapter 19 at your end, that would be helpful.

Baldi is the best
One of the best, if not the best, we have listened to, in some time.
Our only criticism is there isn’t any more episodes available.

enjoyable stories
I've listened to these stories on BBC and always enjoy them. Unfortunately they're not in order, which is confusing. In the middle there's a story where Dr. Baldi decides to go back the church, then the stories carry on with him helping the Gardi. Couldn't someone have checked this? Please don't let this put you off listening, they're interesting light entertainment.

Very good
A pleasant surprise as other reviews put me off. Thoroughly enjoying the stories which are well written and acted. Perfect detective fare for those that like short stories.
