Murder Comes to Call

 

By Jessica Elliott (read by Barbara Rosenblat)
Book 4, Beryl and Edwina mysteries
 


 
Necessary roughage
 
Sorry to say, seasoned audiobooks reader Barbara Rosenblat does a less than convincing English accent. She is not the right narrator for this series.  Should be a Brit who can also do an American accent, instead of vice versa.

This is another one of those Golden-Age wannabes that confirms my feeling that if you want to read a book set in the past, read a book that was written in the past. Some authors can make this period work and other come across as modern novels dressed up for Halloween. This series is not for me.


Just short of 3 stars. What's next?
