I finished listening to The Daughter of Time, by Josephine Tey, and narrated by Derek Jacobi. This is the New Leaf Book Club selection for this month, and I went back and forth between eBook and audio book. I like Derek Jacobi, but I found his narration a bit confusing at times. Sometimes the American voice sounded American, sometimes it sounded like the horrible English misconception of what Americans sound like, and sometimes it sounded exactly like Inspector Grant. Overall, 2 stars for the narration.
Next up, the latest Maise Dobbs mystery from Jacqueline Winspear. These are read Orlagh Cassidy, and her narration is excellent. The current book is The American Agent, and is set starting in 1940, in London. I'm quite looking forward to it.
