At first I was disturbed by the accent, but a few minutes in I stopped hearing it.
This is a lovely reading, clear and beautifully paced.
Thank you.
Wonderful narration, no fake plummy tones and read at a good pace.
I enjoyed the reader and the story. What a fun little one. Thank you!!
wrong voice, can't follow the story
Not a good reader anyway. .. but very American . Difficult to follow. I agree
An American accent? Simply not cricket
It’s not the Americanness that bothers me it’s the slurring.
Shame about the reader!

Lord Peter wimsey does not have an American /Canadian voice? Gave up. If it's going to be read st least do it in the correct voice. As pointed out its not a drama but is read by an actor who should be able to do it. Uk actors are very good at being able to do many accents perhaps one of them should have been used.
Wow. You are a stickler for voices. Myself it’s the story itself that interests me. The only voices I struggle with are the dull monotone ones.
Your correct. Having culture makes it unbearable to listen to a story with British or Belgium or Russian etc. Carractors being read in U.S. English. I get it.
Opps. Wrong spelling.
Maybe Danny Dyer? Good UK accent. This is FREE. You are not paying for this at all. You're lucky to hear it. The reader is a volunteer. I prefer a UK accent too but I certainly don't feel aggrieved or in a position to complain.
With all due respect to the reader he could put in a decent effort. The accent didn’t bother me too much but there seemed no attempt to differentiate voices, no variation of pacing, it was all read too fast without emphasis. Such a drone was good to send me to sleep though. The voice has potential but needs some real effort put into it.
Not the right reader the voice and accent does not work😮
Agree. Bit like Roger daltry singing My Way ughh
This is an audiobook, not an audio drama. I don't hear any accents when I read to myself
What accent?
@@marvfj6451 American🤔
Could not listen who choose this person !
No - accent is wrong and actor not up to the task - perhaps would better suited to portray a southern gent or a NY stock exchange mogul.
This is FREE. You are not paying for this at all. You're lucky to hear it. The reader is a volunteer. I prefer a UK accent too but I certainly don't feel aggrieved or in a position to complain.
Ian Carmichael.
This no talent
American
Ain't.
Shame.

Don't you know how Libravox works? The actor certainly is talented. Do a better job if you want. Otherwise appreciate what you don't have to listen to and get for free.
