Good story , irritating narration

Narrator has a lovely story telling voice but her attempts at accents and different tones are distracting. Her Scottish accent is way off and all her Lincolnshire voices especially the male ones are nasal and slow, and do not represent anyone I know in Lincoln.
This distracts from the story, which is actually a good one.

Great story....shame about the narration.

Great story, as was the previous one in the series, but unfortunately the listening experience was ruined by the narration. The narrator has a lovely voice of her own but she cannot do regional accents....at least not a Lincolnshire one & her Scottish accent made me laugh out loud & cringe in equal measure....it was that bad. Added to which she made several mistakes with the storyline, which had I not been reading with Whispersync could have got confusing. I’d really like to read more by this author but preferably without this narrator.

Another brilliant book in this series

Loved this book, I am currently bingeing on this author as love the twists and turns in the story lines. Highly recommend this series of books.
The narrator is good but I would urge her to do more research on the local pronunciation of the towns / villages in the books she reads. It Won’t spoil it for someone that doesn’t know the area but as a local it was frustrating.
I am just about to download the next book and can’t wait to listen to it.

Great books, shame about the narration

I’m really enjoying this series. The stories are engaging and relatable but the narration is pretty dire. I’ve honestly never heard Lincolnshire accents that sound like this and think the narrator would be much better just using their own accent which is lovely.
I’ll try one more in the series but the accents are really killing the stories for me.

Where Secrets Lie

Very hard to put down. Keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat.

Story good, Performance dire.

Honestly unsure why this lady was hired again to ruin this author's work.

Another good story (slightly worrying if it is a true representation of who is let into the police force), but nice flowing plot line.

Where Secrets Lie

This is the second book in this series, and is just as enjoyable as the first.
The characters continue to develop, and a really good storyline.
Many thanks!

Enjoyable Listen

I have to say, the narration of this second book is so much more improved on than the first in this series. I have them all in my library, and felt I ought to give the second a chance, as I enjoyed the actual story of the first in the series. The narration on the first book was utterly dreadful, but on beginning to listen to this second book, I found that actually the narration had vastly improved.

I enjoyed the story, I like the characters though sometimes you find yourself thinking what adult speaks like that, in the way the narrator chooses to say things when characters are having conversation. but it is definitely more bearable and easy on the ear to listen to.

The actual story was intriguing and I enjoyed it.
