Thanks, Zep516! I'm stretching my old grey cells around the wonderful info on your site. If (When) I have more questions/issues, should I ask the question here...on one that site? Again, Thanks. I know I'll manage this, it's just slow going for my analog mind.

I haven't read any of the "In Death" books, but I listened to four of them and was quite addicted. Too bad you've read them all. :-) You might enjoy other mystery/suspense audio books. I liked anything by Robert B. Parker, especially the Spenser series narrated by Joe Montegna. Lots of dialogue, and funny banter between Spenser and Hawk. Jeffrey Deaver's books are quite different from Parker's, but quite engrossing and well done in audio form. Whatever you get, be sure to get UNabridged versions!

How wonderful to find this site, though I must admit that it took me some time to find one that discusses this subject. The reason I sought it out was because I have been listening to audiobooks for years and they have brought me many hours of pleasure. Like you, though, I find that a book can be absolutely ruined for me by a poor narrator. I can be distressed by an irritating voice as much as the next person but what I find truly disturbing is when words are mispronounced. It is difficult for me to believe that narrators who are considered to be professionals, do not take the time and make the effort to research the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. Another pet peeve, though a minor one, is when a narrator uses the accent of a particular language for a character who is speaking that language. A french person speaking french does not have an "accent" unless that person is french and speaking english. It sounds foolish and often the narrator is difficult to understand in his/her attempt to illustrate the fact that the character is speaking in a language other than english. Other than that, what joy to be able to "read" while doing laundry, vacuuming, working in the yard, etc. :)
