The Kill by Jane Casey
3.0

The narration was a 2 but the story was better so I upped it to 3. I like Jane Casey and her character Detective Constable Maeve Kerrigan. Shortcomings Maeve has in print such as finding it difficult to commit to a relationship, become annoying in narration. But the story itself which focuses on the murders of multiple police officers pulled me in. It is suitably complex with a satisfying ending.


As for the narration - I wrote this comment while listening to the book "Can I say how much I dislike this narrator? Good grief! She has two male accents - they either sound like total obnoxious toffs or thugs. Given that this is a police procedural, neither of these accents are appropriate choices for many of the "cops". As an example, the narrator pronounces the word chagrined as 'shag grand'. Really? I though audiobooks narrators are supposed to know how to read."

I encourage others to read rather than listen to this later installment of Jane Casey's Kerrigan series.
