About this listen

The new entry in the popular Jack Haldean series, set in the Roaring Twenties

Charles Otterbourne’s New Century company should have been the perfect partner for Professor Alan Carrington’s radical new gramophone. After all, Charles was not only a leading manufacturer, but also a noted philanthropist. But when murder is the result of their meeting, Jack Haldean takes up the case, in a desperate bid to save a man from the gallows. But what led to the crime? The answer is Off the Record...

Any additional comments?

Dolores Gordon-Smith has chosen the birth of the recording industry as the background to this mystery featuring the gorgeous (well in my mind anyway) Jack Haldean. As in her previous books she take us back to the golden age of the gentleman detective when murder and mayhem is politely dealt with! The narration by Jonathan Sackville is excellent.

Another delightful mystery featuring Jack Haldean

This is a great book, spoiled by a poor narrator. Although a pleasant voice, and an English narration, (not American, for once !!!), I found his articulation poor, combined with speaking too fast some of the time, made it impossible to hear. I ditched the audiobook and read the book instead, and it is a good story. Pity about the narration.
I would happily try more of them if a different narrator.

POOR NARRATION

While I enjoyed the story it had too many plot twists and suspects for me to keep up with . The reader kept it interesting and I'll keep an eye out for more from this author

A bit too twisty

An excellent audiobook. I felt that the characters were well defined, and were engaging. The book could have been written in the Twenties. There was nothing that brought me out of the story, as some contemporary tales set in earlier time periods often do. The narration was well done & suited the story perfectly. A few nice twists & turns at the end finished a pleasant few hours nicely!

Timeless
