About this listen

Margery Blandon was always a principled woman who found guidance from the wisdom of desktop calendars. She lived quietly in Gold Street, Brunswick, for 60 years until events drove her to the 43rd floor of the Tropic Hotel.

As she waits for the crowds in the atrium far below to disperse, she contemplates what went wrong. Her best friend kept an astonishing secret from her, and she can't trust the home help. It's possible her firstborn son has betrayed her, that her second son might have committed a crime and her only daughter is trying to kill her. Even worse, it seems Margery's life-long neighbour and enemy - now demented - always knew the truth....

I don’t understand how the reader kept reading “Mrs Minerva” throughout instead of “Mrs Miniver”
(Unless the author got it wrong?)
It became very annoying especially coupled a with few other bad pronunciations like Bod gie instead of bodgie.

I bought this after reading the first 100 pages in an Airbnb and having to leave the book behind. Sadly, the audio book is read in a monotonous, sing-song, false Australian accent which is just about tolerable if you speed it up to 1.2x. The reader is poorly rehearsed and clearly has no sympathy for the characters. Buy or borrow the book instead, it's a clever, funny story.

Good story, disappointing narration
