After spending her time chasing a stray Minotaur into pulp Westerns, filling in for Joan of Arc, and raising her infant son, Friday, Thursday needs a break in the real world. But her return to Swindon is far from relaxing. Rogue fictioneer Yorrick Kaine and the evil multinational Goliath Corporation are trying to rule the world, and a deadly assassin called the Windowmaker is tracking Thursday's every move. To top it all off, her husband is still missing after being eradicated from the timestream before they met.

Re: the different narrator

Her voice is a bit too "fussy" for the calm Thursday Next.
Whatever were the audio people thinking?
Why did they switch to a new narrator?

I so enjoy these books it’s been too long since I picked one up and it was the best way to end my year in reading! Hamlet was hilarious in his pining for but hating Ophelia and what he thinks of all the movies and books on his “life” and the Shakespeare’s , yes many more than one since he was cloned but none of them seem to have the originals talent.
Thursday gets Landen back and then loses him again, it is all a big game played by Goliath and new baddy Kaine who may or may not be a fictional character, who seems to have it out for the Danish, and who does Thursday have living her who else but Danish Prince Hamlet.
There is, as usual many great characters in this book but most of them aren’t literary characters and I missed them, and Miss Havisham!
Emily Gray as always does a wonderful job at the narration, I love all her different voices she is very, very talented!
I read the last book in 2012 and I think it is time I finished this series, so I will be listening to the rest of these this year.
4 Stars
Another fun addition to the series

To be fair, Emily is an excellent reader but projects frigidity as a voice actress.
Unfortunate narrator
