I'm sorry but as soon as I finish writing this, I'm returning it. First, let me say, the stories themselves were GREAT. I listened to the first one (which I believe is read by its author), and I loved it, I loved the second story too. I don't believe its narrator was/is Trini, but I'll take a Caribbean/Caribbean diasporic person who can truly narrate over needing it to always be Trini, and the narrator of the second story did just that, drawing you in to the story. Hell, I'll even take someone who studies the accent so well, they make us laugh in pride at how they get it.
But the narration of the third story? It felt like a mockery of my people and what telling our stories audibly truly means. None of the accents used by the narrator represented how Trinidadians speak. It may seem like nothing, or maybe I'm a high-and-mighty Trini, but this audiobook is called TRINIDAD noir. I have pride in reading my people's stories in almost any genre I can get my hands on because Caribbean people in the diaspora know, finding US is hard to come by. So if I buy an audio version of a book of TRINIDADIAN stories, I expect that audiobook to come correct. It is representing us, and in turn, how non-Trinidadians see us.
I bought this specific audiobook to hear those stories, as if my pahdna or tantie or cousin were telling me them. I wish the narrator of the third story had read it without the odd accents, especially since he read the descriptive text without it. I'll definitely buy the book and read the stories my-flicking-self.

Don't listen & think Trinis sound like THIS

The stories in this series are very good. However, only a few accents would actually pass as Trinidadian. At times this was distracting other times straight up embarrassing . Surely it couldn’t be that hard to find individuals with Trinidadian accents to narrate?

This could have been a great audiobook otherwise.

Great Stories- poor accents
