Surprisingly entertaining

Quite a bit of redundancy, but I found it much more entertaining than I expected it to be.

It's just THAT GOOD!

What did you love best about A Parcel for Anna Browne?

Wonderful mystery about an unassuming, average woman that draws you in from the start. Beautifully written, great dialogue, setting details without being too sugary. The narrator was incredible with the voices, especially Shaniece? (sp?) I loved this so much I also ordered it in paperback so I can pass it around, and hope Miranda Dickinson finds a North American audience. I've been promoting it all over Facebook and at work and might suggest our local library add it to their collection.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved them all because Miranda Dickinson presented really well drawn characters. Anna was such a lovely character to root for, and her co-workers were hilarious. Of course I loved the romantic lead and the slow-burn romantic tension throughout.

Which character – as performed by Clare Corbett – was your favorite?

Sheniece? (sp). Bloody brilliant. I've been bookmarking some of her great lines and letting my co-workers listen to the incredible range Clare Corbett has for accents. She's become my favourite narrator. Truly amazing.

Any additional comments?

This is the first time I've jumped on an Audible recommendation and I'm so glad I did. I ended up ordering 3 of this author's books on Kindle afterwards as well.

not bad. not great

lots of editing errors in the audio, will make you think the author is repeating themselves several times. plot was ok, not great

powerful and engaging story and performance.

audible made the story live, engaging, tangible performance. greater clarity for me than just reading.

A wonderful story beautifully performed

Loved every morsel of this book. Clare Corbett is a phenomenal narrator. Would listen to any book she narrates. One of the best books I have read and listened to this year. Highly recommend.
