About this listen

Hated for his cruel and vicious nature, ruling his family with an iron hand from his sickbed, tyrannical patriarch Adam Penhallow is found murdered the day before his birthday. His entire family had assembled for his birthday celebration, and every one of them had the ways and means to commit the crime. As accusations and suspicion turn in one direction and then another, the claws and backstabbing come out, and no one is exempt from the coming implosion.

The overdone plummy voice of this reader detracted from the story, which was hard enough to understand anyway. Not content with that, the mispronunciations, misplaced emphasis in far too many placed. This book definitely goes back.

Overdone.
