Voice makes or breaks a recorded book.

The story was as good as the others, but the narrator didn't work. Frank's mother was worst of all.

Narration very bad. A gravelly smokers voice.

Tries to imagine voices in stereotypical fashion. I skipped about 7 chapters to find out who did it. Unfortunately the next book has the same narrator so I will skip it.

Annoying Narration

The new narrator does a whiny voice for a few of the characters. But this story was my favorite so far. The first book that the killer wasn't completely obvious

Terrible narrator

Should have never changed narrators, this new one is awful. I may have to read the rest of the series rather then listen to her voice.

horrible narrator

the story was fine. I have listened to hundreds of audiobooks over the years and this narrator was the most horrible one I have ever heard. I almost didn't listen to the book. if she is narrating the rest of the series I will not purchase it

The narrator was god awful.

A new Narrator

I love Victoria Thompson's Gaslight series. I listened to the first eight books as if they were one continuing book.
The change of reader to Suzanne Toren was shocking. I find Frank Malloy's voice by this reader menacing and sarcastic. I have a clear picture of this well written character in my mind's eye, that I know from the first eight books. Fortunately or unfortunately, this picture in my head includes the voice and intonations of the reader of the first eight books. To my ear, there is a mismatch between my impressions of Frank Malloy and the snarky voice Suzanne Toren uses.

There are at least two reasons for this jolting mismatch that may be personal to me. I lived in New York City for 15 years and I know that all New Yorkers don't have to sound like James Cagney either in accent or in passive aggressive sarcasm. And I am a bit infatuated with the Detective .Malloy of books 1-8. He is a strong man who sometimes wonders, in his heart, if he's strong enough. He's a Detective with a tough shell, who inside suffers with his handicapped son and still grieves the lose of his late wife. He is strong willed enough to fight what he sees as an ill-fated attraction to Sara, and yet he undestands that his heart won't be controled. He can't be a little in love, and their society will stand in the way of complete love. He will not compromise Sara in any way so he keeps her just out of his reach. Sara is a strong-willed independent woman who is who she is because of who she was born to be. She has always had the inherited acceptance by New York Society, of belonging to one of the most powerful families in New York. Protecting her non-conventional life, is the power of her family name. Though she doesn't usually flaunt her privilege, she will pull out the 'big guns' when necessary. The fact that her family and Teddy Roosevelt's are close opens a lot of doors that seemed locked to her and Mallory until she reveals her true identity.

Murder in Chinatown is another Victoria Thompson win. I am now starting the second book read by Suzanne Toren. I am trying to meld her voice with my idea of the characters. I will not stop listening to these stories but I miss the voices of the friends I know.

New Narrator after 8 Books

The book was excellent, but the new narrator really threw my husband and I off at first. She was good but took some time getting used to.

Good story, bad narrator

Good story, bad narrator, high, whiney, and difficult to hear. The last narrator was only mediocre, but this is so much worse. Hopefully I will get used to it or she will improve with the successive books.

Great story ... poor narration

Frank's voice makes him gruff not at all likeable, but the story is good as usual.
