I loved this audio book and I am sorry that it is over. Don’t be put off by the first five minutes which you hear as a free sample, the narrator, Lucy Scott, soon finds her feet. Lucy Scott was really excellent – both with the male and with the female voices. The stories were very enjoyable – particularly Mapp and Lucia which brings the two ladies together and the following novels. From this point, I really started to root for Lucia because she is such a nice person compared to Mapp, and all the characters (apart from Mapp who is so antipatica) started to feel like lovely old friends and it was so nice to spend time in their company. The sound quality was fantastic, lovely and loud. This is the kind of audio book that you can listen to over and over again, so it is excellent value for money. The narrator only made two mistakes: in the final novel, she says “line missing from scanned copy” – a minor editing error that doesn’t matter – and she cannot do a Birmingham accent; however, as the padre hardly ever speaks in a Birmingham accent, this doesn’t matter at all.

Excellent
