The story was really good, the twist keep you guessing but the the narrator was a bit over dramatic.

I’ve listened to the entire series over the years. It’s been a while since I listened so I’m starting over from the beginning. I would have given all 5’s as a rating but the narrator doesn’t do a good job with the different characters. The she does a good job differentiating between male and female but the female voices aren’t very different between characters. The same is true about differentiating between male characters.

Great story but could use a better narrator
