Bad reading
I agree with other comment that voice sounds computerised which spoilt it,I couldn't get past first episode because the voice was annoying, if it was a real person then so sorry !

i PAID ABOUT 78p for this but would still request my money back. Its a decent story but read so badly you cannot appreciate it. Read in a flat monotonous tone, stumbling and re-reading sentences. Just awful.

mechanised
The narrator sounds like it is a computerised voice with poor reading and allowances for punctuation.
The word Schooner was repeatedly reader shoe-ner and therefore many strange one line repeats.
I've given up listening to it

Atrocious
Atrocious.
No apparent editing, with some lines read 2 or 3 times by the reader. With the use of words like "negros", "darkies" etc scattered throughout, this makes for an uneasy read. I really fail to see why we are still being offered drivel like this by Audible, when there's so many superior collections of short stories that could have been offered instead.

worst audio book I have ever downloaded.
The narration is appalling, the delivery is stilted and has an intonation which makes it difficult to follow the story, words are mispronounced and parts of sentences repeated so often it is distracting, it is as if it wasn't edited. I hope this is taken off of audible, it is not a good reflection of the service.

poor presentation
some great stories, but the presentation sounds like the first draft was released by mistake. the first story is poory served by a rather bored sounding narrator, and has not even been edited properly. At around timestamp 13.35 he stops, has a little sign as he realises he has mispronounced a word, and then repeats the sentence, obviously assuming it would be cleaned up in the edit. surprising how something lime this can be missed.

Needs some serious editing!!!
Well I’m only on the first story, and because of quite possibly the worst narration ever, I’m having to give up! I have no idea what’s going on with the storyline as there’s so many repeated lines, I am utterly lost. Do not bother with this until it gets looked at by an editor and fixed!!!!

Monotonous
Terrible reader monotone with strange repetitions and a complete lack of emotion speed reading.

Terrible narration and production
These very well be the greatest thrillers but the narration is abysmal. Best avoided in my humble opinion.

Killing Performance
I just can't listen to this. Some of my favourite authors and stories, but I am sorry, I am sure the narrators are quite brilliant with modern text and dialogue, but here the intonation, the dead pan delivery, the pauses in the wrong places and the lack of (or misplaced) emotion in the voices absolutely murdered the stories. I didn't feel that the readers were enjoying themselves and they gave little evidence that they were following the plots as they spoke... making it difficult to listen to... Very disappointed, was looking forwards to listening to this...
