I just got a new to me CD player so borrowed the audio from the library.
I have listened to audio stories in the car on commutes but haven’t done that in many yrs. This one has a decent narrator.

People talking about audio on your thread reminded me that I did get into some of those stories.

I am not far in yet but it is developing and has sort of a cheery main character named Jennifer Strange.
Cheers
