About this listen

Albert and Rex are going to the palace. It’s the day the Kings' birthday honour list recipients get their knighthoods, but like everywhere else they go, there is trouble to be found.

With his three children and youngest granddaughter, Apple-Blossom, in tow, Albert is a little embarrassed by the lavishness of the affair. Yet all that is forgotten when he spots a man he knows. A man guilty of murder. A man who can only be at the palace for one thing.

But Albert is about to be presented to the king, now is not the time to be chasing criminals.

I guess that's why he's Rex's sidekick.

Step aside humans, it's time for the real hero to get involved.

Rex does it again

The short story was interesting and fun. It provides a new path for more Rex and Albert stories. The AI narration was OK. I thought it was better than the Patricia Fisher book. I did have to advance the speed, a notch or two so that it did not feel/sound robotic.

Virtual voice is not for me.

Virtual voice is not for me. I have listened to all the previous Albert & Rex stories and really enjoyed them. This one with virtual voice left a tinny sound in my ears. The previous reader was very good at reading in such a way that it was easy to determine which character was speaking. Not so with this story.
I will probably not buy anymore virtual voice stories no matter how much I like the author. I hang up my phone if i receive a robocall and I would do the same with audio books voiced by a machine.

Flat voice

The virtual voice could not keep me interested in the story. I listened to the whole thing and only know the name of one character. Can’t recall anything the dog did.

The flat, lifeless narration.

Virtual voice is fine for GPS but is no replacement for talent. The narration actually takes away from the author's talent. Too bad,
