True to the spirit of the book!

“If you want a good adaptation, go to audiodrama, which sticks close to the words, leans into the music implied by the book, and simplifies only to clarify. Changes are well-judged, few, and added with a light touch, (I liked the coda), Will is excellent, and I do believe that's Dame Harriet Vane, excuse me, Walters, adding gravitas as The Lady.
Two very minor quibbles. It feels a trifle rushed now and then, failing to pause for emotional beats to sink in, or dashing through a dramatic sequence on speedrun. But then, that's the nature of abridgement. Also, personally, I expected Merriman to have a deeper, more gravelly voice, a la Peter Capaldi or Christopher Lee. but that's more matter of personal preference.
Other one anyway, I enjoyed it and stayed up half the night because I couldn't stop listening until I'd bibged the whole thing. I am definitely on board if they choose to do any of the other books.”Read full review »
