Thirty Great Detective Stories

Narrator needs voice lessons! She makes exciting text extremely boring! I will avoid any books she narrates.

HORRIBLE NARRATION

Cathy Dobson has a terrible speech habit of emphasising the last syllable of each senTENCE. So that it sounds like THIS. It's really annoying to listen TO. I managed to get through the first stoRY. But when I found she was doing it on the next one TOO, I decided to return IT.

It is a great book of short stories except for chapter 10 and 11 being the same story.
