I ran across audiobooks for Dorothy Gilman’s Mrs. Polllifax series at Hoopla. I’d read some of these back in the day; I remembered them as charming, but lost interest after a few. It struck me as a good late night listen and it was. Barbara Rosenblat does an excellent job of the narration, with one caveat: no 63-year old (or older) woman I know talks in such a quavery old lady voice. It was particular annoying in that an explicitly 63-year old male character sounded hale and hearty. Sigh. Still, it didn’t spoil the fun and I shall listen to more.
