Reseñas de la Crítica

"She brought to the detective novel originality, intelligence, energy and wit." (P. D. James)

Managed to be enthralled

I had already read most of the stories so I was worried that I couldn’t enjoy it as much especially with the narrator. Smth about her voice was a bit off. But I still was spellbound most of the way even though I knew the endings.

Couldn’t enjoy

The narrator is awful. I am usually humbled by the skill of these readers but this lady spoiled the stories for me. If you cannot do an American - or British - accent then please don’t try because the result is always worse than leaving it to the listener’s imagination. I could not get into the stories themselves s o can’t comment on the content. Maybe you don’t mind the weird voices.
