That the author could tell a wholesome story without blasphemy or crude language! what a great listen!
Humour, crime and life. I can not wait to listen to the books of this author.

Stereotype cookie cutter
Not much to say about it. Same same. Personally won’t bother with following books in the series.
Narrator had good diction and a pleasant voice so that was a plus

Average story
The reading seemed rather poor to me., Words like 'soddering iron' and very quick from one chapter to the next. The story was ok but not a real page turner. Not one that i would recommend.

Better read the book!
I have read all the books in this series, which, although never going to win a booker prize, kept me entertained and interested enough to find out what would happen to the main character at the end of the series. I got the audio book because it was free and some time since I’d read the books so thought I’d give it a whirl. These books have been very let down by extremely poor narration, I can’t believe how many mispronunciations of simple every day words there were, and how such mistakes could be made by someone who makes a living by narrating audio books. Someone else mentioned the ‘soddering iron’, which was hilarious, but many other words mispronounced or the emphasis placed on the wrong syllables, which is vastly irritating. Does anyone actually listen to these books before they are released? I’m glad I didn’t pay for it.

The awful Narrator stood out!
Can someone tell this Narrator that the full stop means 'take a breath' 🙄🙄
She rattled through the story at a break neck speed and all In one long monotone. It was hard work. The story was OK, not sure I would listen to anymore.

Good intro to a new heroine but...
The narrator ruined it for me as I had to really concentrate to notice a scene change!

Little content concerning the canals, ok story.
Very odd narration style with strange pronunciation of some words.
Although the main character lives on a boat and the various crimes involve boats, the story shows little knowledge of narrow boats or the canals. The story itself is ok.

Production very poor
I liked the idea-great to have canals/narrow boats featured but the production values were mediocre to say the least.
Mispronunciations were jarring and distracting so I had to keep rewinding. “Nouse” should rhyme with “house” not noose. “Soddering iron” is referred to twice so it can’t be a slur. “Path” report comes out as “parth”.
I could go on as there was at least one mispronunciation each chapter. Ironic given the protagonist is supposed to have an English degree from Ruskin College, Oxford 😂.
Shame really
