Less Than Amateur

I have read all of Emma Lathen books and loved them. Deaver Brown did a poor job of narration. He sounded as though he was doing a cold reading and had to repeat many words that he messed up. His voice is better suited to a hard boiled PI than a sophisticated man of finance. The worst thing, however, was the music playing through the narration. It was not part of the story and was very distracting. After 3 chapters, I gave up and returned the book. I am disappointed that Audible would carry such a poor product.
