As an Australian, this narrator did the worst Australian accent I have ever heard. It’s frankly embarrassing that a publisher would put this in market because it’s physically painful to listen to. The story itself was a 4-5 star (it feels like Wolf Creek meets Wrong Turn and it was super fun!) and it pains me so much that his writing is being done a disservice by a lazy and/or unskilled narrator. Either get an Australian narrator or just have the whole thing in an American accent.

5 star story, 1 star narration

I really enjoyed this book. kept me interested right until the end. the Aussie accents were very very bad but I was able to look past that and still enjoyed this story.

great story BAD accents

Suspenseful story, well written as always from Mr McKinty. I have an issue with the front cover being a man leading his family which is the antithesis of what the story is about. The Australian accent was probably the very worst I've heard.

Great story.Awful awful Australain accent.

Good story but possibly the worst Australian accent I've ever heard. I'm struggling to get through as detracts from the story.
