Georgette Heyer (read by Ulle Birve) c. 1937
an annual re-read
Killed by the narrator
Oh my goodness! The narrator is absolutely putting me to sleep. Not only is her pacing slow but she speaks in almost a monotone and noticeably pauses for breath every few words, whether it is an appropriate place to pause or not. Most disconcerting. Moreover, she doesn't appear to get Heyer's sense of humor.
In spite of the narrator, I enjoyed the story. It is the only reason I didn't decide to quit and move on.
A bit more than three stars. Not her best, but not her worst.
