Description
Ruth Galloway receives a phone call that bears shocking news. A friend of hers from college, Dan Golding, has been killed in a fire at his Lancashire home. Her shock turns to alarm when she gets a letter from Dan. He has made a discovery that will change archaeology forever but he needs Ruth's advice. Even more alarming, he sounds vulnerable and frightened. DCI Harry Nelson is also rediscovering his past. Up north for a holiday, he meets his former colleague Sandy MacLeod, now at Blackpool CID. Sandy tells him there are strange circumstances surrounding Dan Golding's death. Many of those who worked with Dan seem to be afraid.
Many have secrets to hide. Ruth is drawn deep into the mystery, and where she goes, so does her toddler daughter, Kate. This time, it's not just Ruth's life at risk.

Cant do a male voice to save her life!
Would you consider the audio edition of Dying Fall to be better than the print version?
Didn't read print version.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Clare Corbett?
BRING BACK Jane McDowell! Clare Corbett is a terrible match for these characters! I'm going to finish the book, bit I'm dreading hearing the male characters talk. I can't comment on their accents, but she sounds as if she's doing parodies of male voices.

Where is the original series narrator?
The new narrator ruined the book for me. Her male voices were so annoying I could barely finish listening. Bring back the original narrator!

Great Story, absolutely Terrible Narration
How could the performance have been better?
Go back to Jane McDowell as your narrator. Clare Corbett is irritating right from the beginning but when she starts to do the "voices" of the various characters she becomes unbearable. She is not able to keep the voices consistent with the associated characters and her idea of the local accents is just insulting. I could not finish listening to this book and will read it instead.
Any additional comments?
Change your narrator and a book should be read not performed!!!

Worst narration ever but a good story
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator attempted to do several accents. If I were from Yorkshire, I would have been offended. Just because someone has an accent is no reason to make them sound stupid. The regular narration was so soft, I had to turn the volume way up. Even then, I could hardly hear it. But the "accents" were so loud and horrible that the dialogue seemed as if it were being yelled. Even the poor two year old screamed every single word of her dialogue. All in all, a ridiculous circus that really detracted from the book.

Still a great series
Action, suspense, great characters and a well-written story. I am getting used to the narrator/voices in my head disconnect (you know, when what you're hearing isn't how you thought the characters should sound ); Ms Corbett is absolutely capable-her men sound like men, her accents are amazing, and I like her voice.
If you're up for a decent forensic series without a lot of gore and isn't going to leave you unable to sleep at night, allow me to suggest this entire series. And I do suggest you start at the beginning to get the full flavor of how things are put together and who these people are.
And I'm delighted to say that while this series is beginning to flag a bit, it is still a solid 4 stars.

The screaming child ruins this
Would you listen to Dying Fall again? Why?
No. I generally don't listen to books again for quite some time but this would not be one. The narrator, especially the very uneven volume levels, the screaming Kate and the overloud Sandy completely spoiled my enjoyment of the book. Books should be read, not considered a 'performance'
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Very disappointing and contrived.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Clare Corbett?
Jane McDowell read the early Galloway and she was excellent. I won't buy any more as long as Clare Corbett is the reader
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
No comment
Any additional comments?
For goodness sake read the book and don't do the accents.

When will this series score a decent narrator?
A nice addition to the series--I love the main character, Ruth--and the location, which is another "character" in the stories.
However the narration has been consistently horrid. Jane McDowell's strident, grating voice would leave me clenching my teeth after only a few moments of listening. However, Clare Corbett is worse--but in a different way. She has a pleasant enough voice, easy to listen to, until she attempts to do a male voice. At first I thought I was hallucinating--no WAY her clownish male characterizations would have been permitted. Wrong.
C'mon people--will somebody please just LISTEN to these performances before inflicting them on the paying customers?

terribly terrible narration!
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would recommend only reading this book. The narrator does dreadful male voices. I am going to finish the story by reading it and return this to Audible.
Would you be willing to try another book from Elly Griffiths? Why or why not?
Only with the narrator of the first books in this series.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Clare Corbett?
The narrator of the first books or anyone who can do believable male voices.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Yes.

Another great entry in the series
This 5th volume is my favorite of the series. I appreciated the different setting: Blackpool sees Ruth consulting on recent find by her old college chum (now dead in a mysterious fire.) Druid friend Cathbarth and Kate are in tow.
DCI Nelson and wife are vacationing in Blackpool, visiting his mother. Naturally, the 3 become entangled in solving the mystery behind archaeologist Goldingls fiery death.
I like the introduction to Nelson' family (his mum is a hoot and bonds quickly with Cathbarth) as well as his old "stomping" ground and colleagues. I look forward to seeing more of Sgt Tim (hoping he will follow Nelson back south, as he is an intriguing character.)
The mystery holds together fairly well and Kate isn't too much an intrusive part of the story (I typically prefer the surly loners). I actually find myself looking forward to seeing how Griffiths handles Kate's aging.
Some of the transitions between scenes are a bit choppy, but I suspect this is due to the format (probably wouldn't be as harsh in text.)
Narrator handles the different accents and characters with aplomb.
Highly recommend to any mystery lover.

Great Ruth Galloway Mystery!!!
Ruth remains one of my favorite mystery characters. She is very real with believable strengths and weakness. Like all of us she is always second guessing herself. DCI Nelson and the Druid Cathbarth, other characters in these tales, are well developed with their own strengths and weakness. Ms. Griffiths' books, well plotted and riveting until the last paragraph, leave the reader wanting more.

Enttäuschend
Eines der weniger gelungenen Bücher dieser Reihe. Nach viel ergebnislosem Hin und Her fällt der Mörder der Polizei schließlich quasi vor die Füße.
Zudem ist diese Sprecherin mehr als unpassend. Ihre niedliche Frauenstimme passt zu einer Love Story, nicht zu einem Krimi. Um Männer zu interpretieren, schaltet sie einfach auf heiser. Alle Männer in dem Buch klingen schlicht schwer erkältet.

Gruselstimme
Die Geschichte ist gut. Passt.
Aber ich vermisse die smoothe, angenehme Stimme von Jane McDowell.
Clare Corbet kann auch lesen, aber die verstellten Stimmen!? Die Lesestimme (normale Stimmlage) ist angenehm. Die verstellten Stimmen sind sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig und die Männerstimmen awful!! Man kann fast nicht zuhören. Es dauerte lange, bis ich mich einigermassen daran gewöhnt hatte. Alle Männer scheinen bigott oder scheintot. Gruselig.

Sprecherin
Mit dieser Sprecherin ist mir leider die Freude an der Ruth Galloway Serie genommen worden.
Unmöglich, der Versuch als Frau Männerstimmen zu sprechen.
Sollte man (Sie) lassen.
Werde es wohl kaum durch den gesamten Titel schaffen.

The readers changing of voice for the different charakters is hardly not to bare. It spoils the book immensly

Just gripping at the end
I'd like the story to, but for me the speakers voice who imitate the men's speach does not fit. She is trying to speak to slow when a men says something. That's my opinion, maybe that's why I heard the other titles spoken by a other woman.

schlimme Stimmen
An die seltsamen verstellten Stimmen werde ich mich nicht gewöhnen, ich möchte Frau Corbett am liebsten zurufen: lies einfach vor!
Das kannst du gut. Ich kann mir selbst am besten vorstellen, dass Männer mit Männerstimmen sprechen. So klingen sie einfach gruselig.
