Disappointed

poor narrator prevented liking the character, some of the characterisations did not come through, Jane/James was a 2D characature which implied a little mockery and the "Mr Wriggly"bits were creepy rather than funny. Though this may be because of the lack of emotion in the narration. Shame as I suspect the story is better than it comes across in this audio book

Disappointed

The narrator is sadly lacking in his performance. His cadence is constantly the same, every sentence sounds the same, at least it might put me to sleep, but not very enjoyable!

Go back to the original narrator

I enjoyed the stories, but they have been let down by the narration. The narrator seemed almost monotoned in his telling, not really giving a different voice to the characters. The only character that stood out to me was Big Ben who the narrater made sound like Lord Flash heart from Blackadder and i expected him to keep shooting out "Woof Woof" at the end of each sentence.
Please retry with Peter Fullagar narrating again.

what a funny collection of books, I really did enjoy them however it would have been even better if the narrator had a bit more range to his voice for individual characters xxxxxxx

should not have changed the narrator

Really enjoyed the first 2 books of Tempest Michaels. The storyline is good with good humour included. Tempest and his friends are very likeable, flaws and all! However I don't understand why there is no narration for book 3, more importantly I don't understand why the new narrator is an old man, or certainly sounds like one (I'm not being ageist however as it sounds like an old man it does not fit in with the characters) I am going to see how long I can listen for, but Peter Fullager was far better suited to this role than the new one.

Fantastic Boxset!

I've skipped around these books in print form reading them as I was able to get them. This boxset is excellent b/c it takes them in order and includes the very first one as well which explains how the series began. If you love mystery, dachshunds and intrigue, along with a dollop of laugh out loud silliness, you will love this series! Macho men, crazy criminals, women to sort things out and paranormal investigations...what more could you ask for?
Great narration by Charles Robert Fox!

change in narrator is the wrong choice

If you have listened to the first two books Peter Fuliger was well suited to the narrative.

as much as the narrator is good, I can't stop thinking of Albert smith, too old to play the part and not as well narrated and the previous books.

Really spoiled by poor narration

I enjoyed the first two in the series, bought book 3 as its not available on audible, so was looking forward to these next stories. Unfortunately, the narration is disappointing, making it a struggle to enjoy listening. Sentences are disrupted by poor breathing technique, putting pauses in wrong places giving a very disjointed presentation , and pronunciation is inconsistent, - at times Jaqjet becomes Jaggit, Mr Finucce was
Mr Ficcune, which also detracts from the story. This feels like a cheap production which does a huge disservice to otherwise entertaining stories.
