Next up, another Heyer, but this one a contemporary (1930's) mystery, The Unfinished Clue, read by Ulli Birvé. I'm enjoying the story, though her mysteries are nowhere near as good or as witty as her Regencies, but the narrator is painfully stilted and slow.

Finished. A simply AWFUL narrator. To get the bad taste out of my ears, I'm going to listen to the first of the Ben Aaronovitch Peter Grant books, Midnight Riot. The narrator is Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, and his reading of these books is simply superb. A perfect voice for the narrator.
