Couldn’t get past the first chapter
Having listen to, and been a fan of previous Railway Detective books, I couldn’t get used to the change of narrator in this one. Everyone seems to have gone all Dick van Dyke cockney. Shame.

Great Storyline
Excellent performance the narrator finally grew on me unless he was doing Superintendent Tallis no idea what was is in his mind there. Great Storyline with an international twist a historical Bonnie & Clyde storyline.

Great story, awful narration!
I’m pleased to see that this narrator has only performed two in this series. His chirpy cockney Leeming and ‘South African’ Tallis are appalling. Redeemed by Edward Marston’s excellent storytelling. Just a shame about the narrator!

What has happened to Sergeant Leeming?
Overall, the new narrator does a good job except with Sergeant Leeming and Superintendent Tallis. The narrator has turned Leeming into a Michael Caine impersonator. I kept expecting him to tell someone to stop chucking spears about! I have no clue what is going on with Mr Tallis. I did enjoy the story.
