Reviews

Peter Tomlinson, what are you on?


(0.5 stars)

Did Peter Tomlinson come home from a root canal and record half of the stories in this book with the half of his mouth paralyzed. I know the book is free, but come on, I had to skip half the book, and missed some great stories because the slurring was unbearable.

I love Sax Rhomer


(5 stars)

I love any good mystery story and sax Rohmer is one of my favorites but there are plenty of other good stories in here as well


(1 stars)

I was only able to enjoy one story. Recording was rather tinny in some. Bass was pretty strong in others. Some readers mumbled and slurred which made it hard for me to understand. Some stories just did not engage my attention.
