About this listen

 From USA Today bestselling author, Julie Mulhern, comes a short worthy of the Country Club Murders name. For Aggie DeLucci, former assistant private investigator and current housekeeper extraordinaire, 1975 is turning out to be a banner year. There’s a new man her life, Mac. He makes her laugh, takes her dancing, and makes a helluva salami sandwich. When Mac is accused of theft, it’s up to Aggie to clear his name. She’ll have to polish her slightly tarnished investigative kills and tame her fears (and her hair) to catch the real thief. If this is your first trip to 70s Kansas City, the entire series awaits you. Get ready to dive into THE DEEP END! - - - - - - - - - - - - - DIAMOND GIRL by Julie Mulhern A Henery Press Mystery Short Cozy Historical Mystery

This is not a new short story in the series. The story is taken from one of the books.
I did not care for the AI generated voice. The tempo was off.

What is the point of using virtual voice, it ruined the story and the experience.

Virtual voice is bad

The lack of inflection and monotone delivery leaves the listener with the impression of a grade school student reading aloud in class.
As a big fan of audio books, I place a great deal of importance on who is narrating.
I will not be purchasing any audiobooks with AI narration until it has been significantly improved

The virtual narration sounded mechanical, with lack of inflection, which I had to apply. Distracting and annoying. Ruined what could and should have been an enjoyable read. Definitely not a fan of virtual narration!

Great story!

Not sure how to rate this one! I’ve enjoyed all the other books in this series so far, but this one is a little different. The usual POV (Ellison Russell) is replaced by her housekeeper, Angie, so I guess that’s why we don’t get our usual wonderful narrator. Instead we get Virtual Voice (!), which becomes pretty amusing in its own right. I had to laugh at some of the translations and inaccurate inflections which, as I said, provided an additional layer of amusement to the story which was, actually, just okay after all!

However, I would recommend listening to this selection for the following reasons: it’s free with Audible Plus; it’s very short (less than an hour; and, it’s very entertaining, especially if you’ve never listened to a Virtual Voice narration! Check it out!! ☺️

Something Lost in the Translation??

Story line was enjoyable. the AI reading is poor and does not work for reading a book. Will not select AI readings in the future.

The AI voice was disappointing for Aggy. I imagined for a boho character that her personality would really shine…. Nope! …. Disappointment now in a really fun listening pleasure..

Nix AI voice generation.

Julie Mulhern is a great author whose stories need a live narrator! Audible, these virtual voice narrations are awful!

I love Julie Mulhern but with virtual voice it was not an enjoyable experience. The short story was really good, but if I see another one with virtual voice I'll pass.

Love the Story,

I prefer my books narrated by actual people. Callie Beaulieu IS the voice of Ellison Walford Jones.
