Critic reviews
"The buzz is partly about her heroine’s hip, next generation, cutting-edge investigations and partly about Paris, a setting of unrivaled charm.” ( Houston Chronicle)
Some of the pronunciation of French words is very good, but then at other times it is just Americanised with an accent. This is a pity because the 'good accent' would have worked very well if it had been used for the whole book.
As it is, I find myself cringing in places, which rather detracts from the story.
I will be looking up other books by this narrator (Carine Montbertrand) so that I avoid them!
Given the narrator's name, I would have thought she had a french (possibly Canadian?) background... perhaps this is another case of us in the UK getting an audio book primarily produced for the US market.... ? (There are 4 Aimee Leduc books on Audible.com (US) and she seems to be the 'series narrator'... so to answer my own question: YES!)
***** for the story
** for the narration
Overall *** (3 stars) Pity!
Good Book, Lousy Narration
