About this listen
Tara, Katherine and Fintan have been best friends since they were teenagers. Now in their early thirties, they've been living it up in London for 10 years. But what have they to show for a decade of hedonism? Sure, Tara's got a boyfriend - but only because she's terrified of spending five minutes alone. Katherine, on the other hand, has a neatness fetish that won't let anyone too close to mess up her life. And Fintan? Well, he has everything. Until he learns that without your health, you've got nothing....
All three are drinking in the last chance saloon and they're about to discover that if you don't change your life, life has a way of changing you....

Is there anything you would change about this book?
Narration is horrendous, this is one of my favourite Marian Keyes books, I had forgotten about it until I saw it as a title in a recent BOGOF promo on Audible, now I know why it was free.What did you like best about this story?
Great storyWho might you have cast as narrator instead of Juanita McMahon?
Anyone, it would have done fine with any natural accent, it was the appalling attempt at an Irish accent that killed it.Was The Last Chance Saloon worth the listening time?
Not in this incarnationNarration ruins this

I took advantage of a sale to buy this, along with several others, and as I was getting a bargain I did not take the trouble to listen to the preview, as I typically would.
To quote a favourite film; Big mistake. Big. Huge.
One would have thought, with the name McMahon, that the narrator was, if not Irish, then perhaps at least of Irish origin.
Sadly this seems not to be the case. In fact it seems as if she has never even HEARD an Irish accent.
I can overlook the mispronunciation of certain common words and names, but what she does to the voices of the Irish protagonists is awful to the point of being a distraction from the story. She also attempts a brief flirtation with what I assume is supposed to be a Scottish accent which is equally as awful.
I'm struggling, I have to say. It's hard to focus on the plot when one keeps wincing at the voice!
Notwithstanding the inherent 'Irishness' of the characters, I think it would actually have been better if she had read them in her native accent. For me that would have been less distracting and annoying.
Sadly Ms McMahon is also the narrator of at least one more of the Marian Keyes books I bought in the sale :(
Narration ruined by TERRIBLE Irish accent!
