In a different thread, I commented on an issue I have specifically with women narrators and this is another one. I truly hate to make a gender-related blanket condemnation, but I've only run across this with women, as well as a sing-song intonation as if they're reading to a dull child. Obviously this isn't all women narrators or most women narrators, but at least in my experience it's only women narrators.

Several pages from chapter five were skipped! Presumably an issue when transferred to digital. This is an OverDrive borrow, so perhaps the Audible book has been corrected as I didn't see any complaints in the reviews. Fortunately, I also have the ebook so I was able to access the missing pages and not just have to wonder what (important, in fact) information was left out.
You get what you pay for.
