even the performer audibly sometimes had to remember to come back and change voices, intonations and emotions on time to make sense...

Penelope Dellaporta is a wonderful narrator and I love listening to her PD James readings. I normally listen at 1.0 because I don't want to miss any of the luscious details found in every book. With this specific book, however, I recommend bumping the audio speed up to 1.5. 1.0 is too slow and not, I think, true to the original recording.
This murder mystery is classic James. Moody environment and characters, and enough viable suspects to keep the reader wondering until the reveal.
I like to use immersion reading when listening to PD James. It allows me to go back and find details I feel I might have missed, or just reread and listen to the wonderfully atmospheric descriptions of the countryside or architecture in a particular location.
Ms Dellaporta sounds like I think P.D. James would, based on nothing more than than her photo on the back of her books and a snippet of an interview I heard many years ago. I feel like I'm listening to her read her own books.
Great bargain if bought with a credit.
Another example of beautiful writing.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Classic PD James is always for meAny additional comments?
The quality of this recording is abysmal, old, fuzzy and clearly in need of an update. Given that the audiobook is listed at top price that is simply terrible PR.Very hard to hear.

What disappointed you about Death of an Expert Witness?
The characters are boring. I never cared what happened to any of them. I'm not sure there was a plot, except a man did die of course. I have loved the Adam Dagliesh mysteries until this one! I can hardly believe this one could be so bad when the others are so good.What does Penelope Dellaporta bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
As with all her renditions of PD James' books, somehow with her one voice she does all their voices. It's wonderful theater.Can't Believe PD James wrote such a terrible book!
