How did the narrator detract from the book? The entire Aunt Dimity series the Brother Cadfael series (after a fashion - they have a similarly cozy style, though set in an entirely different time) the Agatha Raisin books (though these are slightly more violent) the Her Royal Spyness series. I'll still buy the books because I love them, but I'm disappointed that the reader does not do justice to this wonderful series.
All of her British accents are spoken in an unnaturally slow cadence that makes them sound slightly addled. I adore this series, so I was thrilled when Audible decided to record them all! I liked the reader for the first two books, but the new reader is completely wrong for the series. Is there anything you would change about this book? Please rerecord with a different performer. The text is great and does not need cutting. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Aunt Dimity and the Duke? Would you be willing to try another one of Teri Clark Linden’s performances? These qualities do not come across in your version.
The book, not the erecording, has many of the qualities of Charlotte MacLeod's Sarah Kelling series: Charm, wit, and humor.
What other book might you compare Aunt Dimity and the Duke to and why? I am also VERY sorry to see that, now that you have made the series available, it is all performed by the same artless individual. They have a great recoding of this book, but I have no way of copying it because they use a unique recording method. I can get free recordings through a government program for the handicapped. I forced myself to listen twice, hoping it would sound better the second time. I preordered so I anticipated enjoying the reading. I was really happy that you had made this book available. All the English characters speak with big spaces between each word. The character Emma is written as smar, logical, strong and is here made to sound weak, young, and non-assertive. The performer appears to be learning to read. What disappointed you about Aunt Dimity and the Duke? One of my favorite books ruined by the reader.
