Great book, but bad choice of narrators

The audio sample of this book gives a bad representation of what one is to expect. Lady Susan's letters are read very well, but there are some odd voices for the letters of the other characters. In particular an Australian and wholly unladylike sounding person reads Mrs Vernon's letters which are plentiful indeed. Most annoying.
