Great Story - mediocre narration

I really enjoyed the study, it kept me guessing as to who was response for David’s death; however, Toles narration was horrible. He reads without any life and he stunts the believability of the characters. I feel he should do some research on dialect and/or accents because there’s no way a black man, Chinese man, Hispanic man and an Egyptian man is all going to sound the same. He was so lifeless that the females sounded like the males in the story. Such a disappointment.
