This is another great book in tbe Cliffhaven series. Unfortunately in my opinion the new narrator let's the series down. The characters voices are so different.

great book

I really enjoy this series. However, the choice of narrator spoilt the listening. Ron was from Ireland but this narrator had him with a London accent! Also other characters had stupid voices which was annoying. I know she is narrating other books in the series so I hope she improves!

Narrator spoilt the listening!

Another wonderful story in this great series - I can’t wait to download the next book and see what Peggy is up to!

Loved it!

We have a new voice and it has thrown me right out. Ron now has a head cold, Jim who is supposed to be Irish goes from Home Counties to cockney and Rosie sounds like a prossy. Ruined this book for me. Please be consistent

Please don’t change the reader .
