Death in Kashmir

A Mystery

By: M. M. Kaye

Narrated by: Shibani Ghosh

When young Sarah Parrish takes a skiing vacation to Gulmarg, a resort nestled in the mountains above the fabled Vale of Kashmir, she anticipates an entertaining but uneventful stay. But when she discovers that the deaths of two in her party are the result of foul play, she finds herself entrusted with a mission of unforeseen importance. And when she leaves the ski slopes for the Waterwitch, a private houseboat on the placid shores of the Dal Lake near Srinagar, she discovers to her horror that the killer will stop at nothing to prevent Sarah from piecing the puzzle together.

the narrator should have been BRITISH!

How could they have used Indian/Pakastani woman to narrate? the character is British! Very distracting.

The narrator

I love M M Kaye as a writer and storyteller, The narrator spoiled the whole book. She read it without any emotion, mispronounced words and made it difficult to finish reading it, Please spare anyone else and get a new narrator!

Too bad it was not read by someone else!

I have always enjoyed reading the author's books over the years and listening to some of the audible versions as well. However, the narrator of this particular book has really put me off them for a while. Her voice and mispronunciation of certain words as she reads in a monotone manner is actually quite annoying. It was very difficult to finish listening to the end. Thank goodness I have read the book before! Giving the narrator one star is too good a rating.

So disappointing with narrator

This was one of my favorite books from M.M. Kaye and I’ve read it so many times. I was excited to get the audiobook, and then so disappointed when the narrator was not native British. I’m trying to finish it but very annoyed while listening cuz it’s just off. Kind of a waste really…

The wrong Narrator

What would have made Death in Kashmir better?

The narrator has a plesant voice but no range. No character has a distinct voice. Men and women all sound the same which makes for a boring listen. I read M.M. Kaye's Death in mystery series and know them to be an exciting series. This narrator just put me to sleep.

What didn’t you like about Shibani Ghosh’s performance?

She was unable to create distinct characters. I think the best narrators are good actors who create and project a range of personalities.
