Narrator too distracting
I tried a couple hours worth of this book but I just couldn't get pass the narrator's accent and the way she draws out her words. stories are potentially good but I just could not focus.

Reader is ill-suited for the material
What would have made Great Classic Crime Stories better?
A narrator with more experience weaving a storyline.
What was most disappointing about the authors’s story?
I do not know --- I couldn't get past the narrator's inability to craft comprehensible sentences.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I'm beating a dead horse here. Wrong narrator for the content.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Great Classic Crime Stories?
I couldn't get that far.
Any additional comments?
I'm kicking myself for not listening to the preview. I promise this will never happen again.
