Total garbage
I do not write reviews, ever. But everything in this book, from story to narrator was apallingly bad. No wonder it was free. Just garbage. Total utter garbage

Too difficult to make out speech
I persevered until chapter 4 then abandoned it. Had to keep replaying to make out what had been said and found I had to over-concentrate to listen. Having a strong accent of this sort may be acceptable for listeners from north America but not for those from elsewhere. So annoyed to have wasted my money on this!
