About this listen

The internationally best-selling author "again demonstrates her skill and with incomparable whimsy makes her bucolic puzzles great fun" (Publishers Weekly).

Although he towers over his neighbors, Jim Feldster is otherwise unremarkable, except for his mastery of cow milking and his membership in every lodge, rotary club, and brotherhood that Balaclava County has to offer. And anyone who's met his wife, Mirelle, a vicious gossip with a hysterical streak, can understand why he never misses a meeting. But one night their neighbors, the sleuthing academics Peter and Helen Shandy, wake at 2:47 a.m. to the sound of Mirelle screaming. Jim hasn't come home, and she will lose her mind if he isn't found quickly. None of Jim's lodge brothers know where to find him, and Peter's investigation turns up few clues. But when a mystery author comes to town and Mirelle is found murdered, Peter begins to wonder if the master milker is less wholesome than he appears.

Love MacLeod. Love Peter Shandy. But how can you have a narrator who mispronounces so many words?

MacLeod is one of my favorites and this story is fun and well-written. Unfortunately, the narrator is awful. I had misgivings about buying this recording because he's read other books of hers and can't seem to get through any of them without mispronouncing at least a half dozen words. His performance of "Exit the Milkman" is especially grating because he mispronounced one of the main character's names. Catriona can be "Cat-ree-OH-na" or the Scottish "Ka-TREE-na" but it most certainly is not "Ka-TROY-na." and evidently, the recording values were so low that the producers never bothered to correct him. Very annoying and disappointing. A good book ruined.
