Lovely New Narrator

I’ve had the original narration of this book for sometime now and listened to it a number of times but it was never a favourite. However this time with the narration by Tanya Reynolds I enjoyed more than ever before. She brought the whole book alive for me and I discovered bits I don’t recall ever hearing before. It was a pleasure to listen to.

entertaining

If you like a romantic, charming story, with believeable characters, this is for you. I really like this particular Georgette Heyer; the couple we are concerned about are already married, and it's an insight into difficult ways things were for both men and women then. A lovely supporting cast too, Felix is great. Reader is a little rapid; but gets the tone of dialogue right.

This is best narration of this book so far

I have a previous version of this audio book but it's hit and miss throughout the story.
As with another listeners review, most of this narration is much better than the previous one and brings out the best in the story

Disappointing narration

This is a delightful story which was spoilt by the narration. There was no difference in the depiction of any of the characters. I put more effort into the characters in stories I read to!my granddaughters. Such a shame. I love novels and always picture the characters but this is difficult when they all sound the same.

Quite fun but not the best

There were some good parts in this story, it’s well told and had decent characters and funny bits, but the whole plot seemed exceptionally trivial and pointless - the peril seemed so easy to get out of, and the entire plot revolving around how difficult it was to fix - I’m sure this is in part to demonstrate the immaturity of the heroine, but it just seemed a bit much. Reasonably pleasant listen, but I’ve heard much better from the new Penguin releases, and am now waiting for some of the better ones to come out from Penguin.
