I'm listening to the third of John Lescroart's Wyatt Hunt series, "The Hunter." I've enjoyed all the previous Dismas Hardy/Abe Glitsky/Wyatt Hunt shared-universe audiobooks. I noted the Audible reviews for this one were pretty much unanimously hostile toward the narrator. I figured it was probably a small vocal group who missed the previous narrators and just didn't like change.
Nope, they were right. This guy ranges from mediocre to absolutely awful. He mispronounces a main character name that has been consistently established in half a dozen previous audiobooks, he mispronouces some relative common words, half his characters sound like voices a gradeschooler would use when playing with cartoon action figures, and the rest of the dialog is delivered in an odd labored monotone, that reminds of when the barely-literate football jock in my high school English class had to read aloud a passage from whatever book he was supposed to have done a book report on but obviously had never cracked open. I don't know how this got through the system. I expect better of Audible.
