About this listen

"So I thought I might take up paragliding. You know, buy one on eBay and just jump off the cliff one morning."

Emily Willows is middle-aged, widowed, wealthy, and bored. When she makes those flippant remarks to her son over coffee one Friday, she has no inkling that within a few hours she will be facing the most terrifying situation of her life. Nor could she have guessed that she will be confronting it with the enigmatic young woman who moved in next door a few months ago and who has hardly spoken a word to her since. And neither of them has realized yet that after this meeting, their lives will never be the same again.

Uneven, flat and unpleasant 'voices' in the narration of this, made it difficult to follow, or even care much about. Predicable female attitudes by the author, made it forgettable.

Not one of my favourites

I've listened to all the DC Smith books and am part way through listening to the Kings Lake series. I love Peter Grainger's books and Gildart Jackson's narration is sublime.
This story is, up to now, OK, but I cannot finish it as the narrator must be one of the worst I've ever listened to. She rushes and it takes an effort to keep up; her accents are abysmal especially Devonshire accents; she is not able to carry off a male voice; she puts very little expression into her voice.
Thankfully, this book is part of the plus library so I haven't lost money buying it, but I won't be listening to this series unless a different narrator records it. I shall probably read the kindle versions as the storyline seems to be cosy crime which I sometimes read. I will most certainly not buy any books narrated by Henrietta Meire.

Awful narration

I’ve loved this author’s previous books, and they are narrated brilliantly. The narrator chosen for this book, and who I believe does the entire series, isn’t brilliant. Despite being set in the West Country, there wasn’t a single local accent - all were generic northern accents. Even characters described as posh got the same generic thick, northern accent. That was bad enough, but when she tried to do a Scottish accent, it became toe curling. I realise how difficult it must be to choose the right narrator; they can make or break an audiobook. However, surely the first requirement should be can they actually do the accents required?

Terrible narration

This is not the usual book I read, however this story sets off at a fast rate and continues to the end.

Unfortunately, if you are looking for accurate renditions of regional accents this is not the book for you.

Fast Paced Book. Not great narration.

Fast moving keeping you on the edge of your seat, well written to keep you guessing about the end , Finnish was a little flat but over all a good listen

Kid nap and being held ransom
