Best AI narration I’ve heard

I love Agatha’s cozy mysteries. I’m so glad that now I get them in audio form. This is the best virtual voice narration I have heard so far.

What really surprised me was the killer.

I liked the feel of closeness in the village and I didn’t like the flip side of that, in which everyone is in every one else’s business.
