Non-American accents are problematic though-even I can tell that the French accent is awful-and the narrator struggles to keep the accents consistent. Generally, speaking, the narrator does a decent job keeping all voices distinct from one another, which is a definite strength. Since this affectation is part of the author's style of reading, it's there in the narration and both character's voices, although the pitch of the voices is quite different. There are brief, voiced vowels added to the front and back of many words, so that instead of "Will" it's "uhWill" or Willuh." Sometimes there is a sort of "ng" added in there, too. It was hard to finish because the narrator has a very stylized way of reading. Props to her for finding federal security officers most of us have never heard of. Point Blank is not atypical of her work, but the novellas are less polished than her recent work. ![]()
