Ruined by narrator

Story was good but narrator was completely unsuitable for the story. Sounded like she was reading a children's book

Not the same narrator that has narrated this series

I love this series and was waiting for the this audiobook. As I started to listen I noticed right away that it was NOT being narrated by Kristin Atherton who has done the series from the start. I tried to listen, but can’t get past chapter 3 with Jan Cramer. She is not Kate Marshall. She makes her sound whiney and weak. I’ve heard her narrate other audiobooks and she was great but not for this series.

Dear Mr. Bryndza - if you’d like for me to continue with this series audiobooks you need to redo this one and any future Kate Marshall books with Kristin Atherton. Thanks!

I preferred Kristin Atherton’s narration

Another great Kate Marshall book, but Jan Kramer’s narration is just too precise for these characters and the accents felt over the top. Kristin Atherton, who did the previous Kate Marshall books, did a much better job of voicing different characters.

This a first for me

I follow this author and was excited about this new title, Devil’s Way. HOWEVER, I don’t think I can finish the audiobook with this narrator. I am used to Kate Marshall being a strong woman. The way this story is being read I think I am listening to a fairy tale or child’s story. She is all breathy and pauses in the oddest places.

It may not be the narrator—could it be the producer/director? Is she being told to narrate this way. If so, it is painful.

I did notice that this narrator did the Erika Foster series. I know I did not have issue with her reading that series. Anyway, this is a first for me because I have never had to take issue with a narrator. But, again, maybe it is the way someone instructed her to read. If so, it does not benefit the story or the characters.

Predictable and lousy narration

I’ve listened to all the books in this series, and found this to be the most predictable storyline of all the books which is rather disappointing. The narrator for this one also made Kate sound like whiney weak old woman and Tristan like an angry man. If you’ve read the previous books, that is not who the characters are. I was disappointed. I finished it because I have a hard time not finishing a book, especially when it is part of a series I’ve invested so much time in. I hope the next one will be better.

Persevere in spite of the narration...

Awful choice for a narrator. But don't let that stop you from listening. Except for the poor choice of a narrator, the usual wonderful Kate Marshall story.

Excellent story and writing!

Why did they change the narrator!!?? While it was okay, I was used to the other narrator and I felt she changed Kate and Tristan's personalities with her performance....

Good Book

Narration was a little off but it was still good. I’ve enjoyed all of his other books as well.

Another good addition to the Kate Marshall series

A good story describing a different side of British life. The early near drowning oddly didn’t really impact the story other than to put two people in the same hospital room. However, the story brought together many loose threads to weave a good yarn.

Good Kate Marshall story, poor narration

Since the narrator of the Robert Brundza books change the narrator, it’s not as fun anymore. The new narrator sounds like she’s reading a children’s book and takes away the thrill and tension out of the story. I wish they could go back to the original narrator of the first books.
