Easy reading !
These stories are delightful easy reading, set in the 1920s. The plot was good, with plenty of suspects and of course there was a twist at the end !

Narration ruins it
Apparently the narrator is award winning. I’m sure i would have made it to the end if it were not for the “sidding “ instead of sitting and “cidy” for city. Voice characterisation is awful and took away any enjoyment of the book.

1920’s mystery
These stories are entertaining, and both the characters and the period are quite vividly described. The narration, however is very poor, with bizarre pronunciation of many words, and a weak attempt at an English accent, let alone any others. It’s hard not to be distracted and irritated by this. I thought the narrator of the first few books in the series was bad, with her dreadful attempts at, for example, a Welsh accent; but Bernadette Dunne is no better.

A good tale spoiled by the narrator
Interesting story and characters. The irritating Hepburn accent with incorrect British pronunciation really annoys though as do the occasional anachronisms.

A delightful few hours listening
A cross between PG Wodehouse and Agatha Christie.
Maybe not as convoluted as Murder at the Vicarage and it’s like, but the 1929s society it portrays is amusing.
The only issue I have is that the narrator tries so hard to speak with an upper crust British accent, but is let dow by “cawfee” and odd mispronunciations.
The spotted dick pudding being changed to spotted dog made me raise an eyebrow.
A perfectly delightful book, no great angst, 1920s manners and a Ukrainian who hates Russia. (!) oddly modern.

Great really enjoyed
I know people have commented on the narrator but I think she’s got a lovely voice that fits with the period it’s set in thanks

Love the story
I love the characters and story but the narrator strangles English pronunciation. There are too many American pronunciations, it is very distracting

very dated
the narrator? terrible. she did this really weird faux posh accent with a Canadian Wang. mispronouncing words and attempting to be upper class . for example orf as opposed to to off, I grudgingly accept, but oarfice for office.. nah!
I thought it for quite a while that there was a minor member of a royal Indian family called raj-er but no.. his name was Roger...
to sum it up feeble old fashioned sort of detective with a rubbish narration. shan't be trying anymore.
