The narrator was awful. He mis-read and mispronounced English words, what he did with the pronunciation of French names was criminal.

Awful narration, boring story. I managed three hours and then quit. Wish I could return it!

How long can he drag out the opening. I was so irritated it didn’t even put me to sleep.

These books are incredible, and the narration faultless.
I can not recommend it highly enough.

While the narrator did the best he could, this book was rather absurd. It could have been an hour shorter had the author not indulged himself with every emotion known to man, and basically thrown the kitchen sink in there for good measure.

This is a terribly long winded, drawn out odyssey, and the narrator made me cross with his pedantic rather mocking tone.

Would you listen to West Cork again? Why?

This was totally engrossing. I don’t usually listen to real crime, so this took me by surprise. One of those books you can’t stop listening to, then hate when it ends.

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

I had not heard of this crime, despite living in the UK at the time. It was utterly compelling to hear the people involved speaking; voices can tell you so much about a person.

What about the narrator’s performance did you like?

Factual, impassive, yet involved and concerned.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Who do you believe?

Any additional comments?

Thank you Audible for making this available. Best book I’ve listened to for a while.
