An unexpectedly outstanding performance of a lesser known classic series

I bought this collection with some misgivings because I've had bad luck with recent audiobook releases of old mystery novels. Some companies seem to think that as long as they have a guy with a British accent reading it, it's good enough. But Graham Scott does more than just read - - he does great voice acting, with appropriate and interesting accents, and it's easy to tell the characters apart by the way they sound (Reggie sounds exactly right - a bit cherubic, a bit puckish).

You can tell that Scott has read each story before and planned how to approach it. I automatically listen for misplaced stress in sentences (I wish I didn't), and even the best narrators do it sometimes, but he has a lower rate than just about anyone.

The stories are, ofc, great, I've read them a million times, Reggie is essentially one of the milder Saki characters turned detective. I'm delighted that they were treated so well in their translation to audiobook.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
