Story
On a cold November morning, a jogger runs through the woods in the peaceful Quebec village of Three Pines. On his run, he finds a dead man hanging from a tree. The dead man was a guest at the local Inn and Spa. He might have been looking for peace and quiet, but something else found him. Something horrible. Did the man take his own life? Or was he murdered?

Story
England, 1920. Eleanor Swift has spent the last few years travelling the world: taking tea in China, tasting alligators in Peru, escaping bandits in Persia and she has just arrived in England after a chaotic 45-day flight from South Africa. Chipstone is about the sleepiest town you could have the misfortune to meet. But then, from the edge of a quarry, through the driving rain, Eleanor is shocked to see a man shot and killed in the distance. Before she can climb down to the spot, the villain is gone and the body has vanished.

In the shadow of the Pentland Hills, a man has been callously struck down in front of his home. Tyre marks suggest it was no accidental hit-and-run. Somebody wanted him dead and as the man fights for every breath, they might still get their wish. Grappling with the demons he thought he could leave behind after months away on enforced leave, D.S. Malkie McCulloch resists pressure from his superiors to pass the case on to the road policing unit, convinced that whoever was behind the wheel will be waiting for the chance to finish the job.

I feel like I've lost an old friend
How could the performance have been better?
I tried really hard to embrace the new narrator but in the end I was very disappointed.
I don't understand why it's read by a Brit and that everyone has an English accent. The narrator's French accent is terrible and his versions of Olivier, Gabry and Ruth are just awful. The Three Pines setting is completely redundant given the loss of any Canadian accent.
I'll continue to read Louise Penny because I love these characters and their stories but it will no longer be the same...

Another interesting and enjoyable story.
I love this series of books - Louise's writing combined with Adam's narration is great. Have to say that the voices of the characters weren't as distinctive as in previous books, but still a great listen nonetheless. And, yet more progression of the overall story. So in short - loved it! Again!

"Clera"
I love Louise Penny's writing, in particular this series. However, the narrator is so unlike the previous one, that I am unable to settle into the book, especially with Clara being called Clera. Perhaps my expectations were a bit too high.

Come back Adam Sims
What did you like most about A Great Reckoning?
Another great story
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The new narrator may be technically perfect but he did nothing for the story. Its gone from being a very Canadian series to feeling like Im being read a bedtime story and any minute now "teddy will say goodnight to nurse and go to sleep"..such is the tone. I have loved all of the previous Louise Penny books on audible. This is my last. I will go back to print if this narrator continues.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The change of narrator made me feel like I had lost old friends and these were imposters.
Any additional comments?
Very disappointed

Another great Penny mystery
Where does A Great Reckoning rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I've listened to all the Inspector Gamache series books on Audible.com.au and loved them all.
Did Robert Bathurst do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?
All of the other books in the series were narrated by Adam Sims who does an extraordinary job of the characters and voices. Bathurst's reading style is different. He doesn't attempt the voices in the same way. His very proper British accent had me feeling I was listening to a beloved teen book from the early 20th century rather than a 21st century murder mystery. He made argument sound unimportant and evil sound tut-tuttable. It was disappointing after the previous books. I'm sure Bathurst is a great narrator but he's not suited to this genre or story location.

Wrong narrator
Why have a narrator that is so different from the previous man? It's the wrong author for this guy, his French pronunciations are terrible, made me want to stop listening straight away. I only finished the book because the story is great.

Goodbye Adam Sims. I'll miss you.
Overall, the story is as captivating as the other books. Though I found elements of the case solution to be uncharacteristically guessable, and with an annoyingly glaring plot hole.
The new narrator is ok, but lacks continuity with Adam Sims' excellent characterisations. Characters like Beauvoir have drastically lost or altered personalities in the transition. Much of the overall Quebecois/Canadian nuance is lost on the British narrator, who voices all characters in British and reads French phrases with unconvincing French pronunciation. Most female characters are voiced in the same way, except, thankfully, Ruth, whose voice is as delightfully caustic as before.

I can’t tell who is who now. Everyone sounds the same. It makes me sad because now I can’t like the story as much.
