Narration let it down in parts

I love Simon Kernick - my favourite author. Paul Thornly is the most engaging narrator there is. However, parts of the book red by a female narrator really let the audio version down. She spoke so slowly I wanted to press a fast forward button. This was even worse when she read a male part in the book.
Please only use Paul Thornly, especially for male parts and please tell the female narrator that it isn’t a meditation book. Really spoilt the experience.
