An Enjoyable Abridged Version


(4.5 stars)

Having read the novel 25 times, I noticed where details were missing, but enjoyed the dramatization. If you like this dramatization, go read the book.

a superior "Who-did-it"


(5 stars)

good production Would not do to call it a whodunnit

Good Dramatisation


(5 stars)

Brings the novel to life with its dramatisation and makes for engaging listening without spending too much time on a direct text reading.

Well performed, however it sounds tinny, especially at the start


(3.5 stars)


(4 stars)

Great performance but some distortion in the audio


(4 stars)

excellent voices, but the story was very abridged
