listening problems

the first of four stories is produced in a way that the primary character is very difficult to hear and understand. we were listening while traveling in the car and this was undoubtedly the most difficult of more than 50 Stories We Have Heard. the actor playing the primary character throughout the four stories has a low voice and much of the time is near whisper in communication. on a lighter note this is a gumshoos type of stories although the primary character works for the official Police Department. he is a very typical characters for these types of stories. we had just returned from a trip to Cuba and had actually seen the author in person, which was kind of cool! the dramatization does not give you any extra explanations, particularly of places like the malecon which is a long Street-Way built upon a sea wall. I guess it was not written for non Cubans, but the translation could have given us a little more maybe?

set in Cuba with Cuban characters.

so why have it read by actors with a British accent? poor casting Choice. Poor quality of audio.

Cuban spice

I enjoyed these dramatisations and the Cuban setting but the spicy flavours won't be to everyone's taste. Crimes of passion, sexual gratification and greed featuring a detective prone to self indulgence and his own weaknesses mean these stories are more colourful than cosy.
