Great story, but the narrator........
First the audible book - I read the first of these books and really enjoyed it so I decided to try the Audible version for the second book in the series. I will go back to reading for the rest. The narrator was very hard to listen to. The character voices are shrill and the tone of the conversations does not match the speech pattern of the narrator. Normally I am not picky and have never written a review before, but this was awful and is the reason for the overall 3 star rating. Now - to something I am curious about. When I went to audible to purchase this book, it shows the book as not available through Audible, but when I searched the book on Amazon, it let me purchase the book through Audible - very strange!
