powerful

Appalling mispronunciation of common words at times spoils the narration at times of a powerful and disturbing publication

Very interesting

Sadly the narration spoils this book. Very robotic voice, I persevered as I wanted to know the story. It was very interesting and confirmed to me that Diana was murdered as I had thought. If you enjoyed this, read The Rebel Prince and it should confirm any thoughts that Prince Charles is a horror of a human being and that wife of his has a lot to answer for. What a contemptible couple. Diana might not have been perfect but she did not deserve the treatment she endured. The Royal Family must surely be the most disfunctional family, and there is a little of the mafia about them.

A fascinating story but terrible narration

Would you try another book written by Noel Botham or narrated by Simon Whistler?

Book by Noel Botham most defiantly, narrated by Simon Whistler not a chance!

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator ends every sentence with empathies very much like Quentin Wilson used to do on top gear, after a while this becomes super annoying.

Did The Murder of Princess Diana inspire you to do anything?

The narrator inspired me to jump off a bridge

Any additional comments?

A well-researched and fascinating story let down by really bad narration.

Give Willliam the crown

I always knew that there was something wrong with the story that Diana had been killed in an accident. If this was the case why did it take so long to get her to hospital. I think the crown should goq to William. Charles does not deserve to be King of England, he is married to a divorcee as well so no way should be be crowned King of England.

Decent conspiracy theory destroyed by awful narration

I had to force myself to keep going back to this book in order to get to the detail of the content and the conclusion in spite of the narration which is awful, specifically the very poor pronunciation of many words and phrases in both English and French in particular and including numerous names of people and places. The tone and intonation is also very strange and makes for a difficult listen. Whoever, oversaw/edited (reviewed and listened to) the narration was completely off the ball.

A great read

The readers voice has an unusual intonation and monotone that is quite difficult to listen to at the start. After a while I got used to it though. The story is amazing. The first 10 chapters discusses the dirty deeds of Charles, Princess Ann and the Parker Bowles, as well as the various dramatic events surrounding Diana's life. Then the last 9 chapters goes into detail the events surrounding her death, the characters involved and the efforts made to cover up and ignore vital parts of information. A great read.

Great listening for insomniacs !!!

The man is telling us the conspiracy theory we have all believed since this tragedy happened that indeed, as predicted by Diana herself, she would be killed in a car crash, but dismissed by many because she was "paranoid". I never dismiss a story from someone when they are called paranoid as a person's instincts are usually spot on.
A lot of what he says we have heard before but my goodness he has the most boring voice in telling the story. He cannot say woman, it's wimen. Other little nuances, because of his slow precise speech, tend to irk a little, from the first chapter.
A really interesting story but be prepared to fall asleep while listening to it!!!!

Great story,dreadful narration

This book gives the reader 110% about the death and life of Diana and is indeed very i formative and to the point . However, this was totally spoiled by the narrator. initially I thought the narrator was foreign, but listening carefully all the words are indeed clear and precise, but strangely he appeared to elongate many words and talk at an odd speed and accentuate The end letter of many words....most odd and most off putting.
I asked several friends to listen to a few paragraphs, in order to see their reactions , wanting to make sure this was not me being picky, .....they all agreed that the narration was very odd.
Apart from this I cannot fault this book, which is both enlightening and well researched giving one a true insight into what most likely happened within her marriage to Charles
If you can get passed the odd narration this book leaves out the fluff and stuffing and gets straight to the facts and findings
