One of the fascinating things to me about audio books is that a narrator can make or break the experience of a book. And like actors in a movie or TV show, voice actors have niches or characters that fit perfectly...or don't. Michael Kramer narrates the Butcher Boy series (by Thomas Perry) and is the perfect voice for this character. For me, he is compelling and absolutely spot-on for that character and series. I've heard him in other things, liked him well enough to continue the book, but his style is pretty much the same no matter the material. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't.
There are a couple of narrators who are an auto do-not-buy for me, Kramer is definitely not in that category.
