About this listen

 THE BRAND NEW BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF OUT OF PRACTICE
Love and laughter with the residents of Larkford is exactly what the doctor ordered!

Dr Alice Walker has become accomplished at presenting a façade to the world – to anyone watching, she is the epitome of style, composure and professionalism. But perhaps it was to be expected that the cracks might begin to show at some point. Thankfully Grace is on hand to offer both friendship and support when it’s needed most.

Meanwhile, Dr Holly Graham has her hands full both professionally and personally. Planning a wedding with Taffy Jones is challenging enough, even before some surprising news changes everything. At least beloved Larkford resident, Elsie, still has a few tricks left up her sleeve!

Dr Dan Carter, on the other hand, has decided to throw himself into his career – the best antidote he’s found to unrequited love. When tragedy strikes in the heart of Larkford, Dan makes it his mission to help the community.

I was a little disappointed with the change of narrator. Different dialects not so convincing. However, enjoyed it overall.

The narrator who voiced the first two books was way better. This one portrayed Taffy as if he were a fool by making him sound like an imbecilic clown as a opposed to a soft spoken and desirable gentleman like the original narrator did. I found it negatively impacted the good story and enjoyable writing.

Why did they change the narrator?

Very frustrating to listen to, I couldn’t differentiate between the characters at times and the the shrill sounds when there was an a sh in the word drove me mad.

I loved your first two books of this series and the narration was very well done. I’ve tried my best with this one but I can’t listen to more than chapter 16, which was horrible, and that was only because I’m loyal to you and this series. I just can’t cope with any more, it’s doing my head in. I’m also going to send back the last one in the series with the Christmas theme. As soon as I listened to the first part, I knew I couldn’t go any further.

I’m going to ask for a refund but will happily rebuy both if you relaunch them with the previous narrator. I really love the characters and the plot. So sorry.

I’m really sorry Penny Parkes
