Good story but just a tad too much padding...

The problem with audio books is that you can't skip read when you get to long passages that add nothing to the story, just pad it out!
The story was pretty good, but I really don't need to know the entire contents of a shop she goes into, and some of the dialogue exchange between the characters was annoyingly slow. I am sure that most readers / listeners are quietly saying 'for goodness sake get on with it' !. If it was suspense the author was trying to build in by drawing out these conversations, I'm afraid she didn't succeed. If you can put up with that though, then its an easy read (listen).

Fab story

The story was as gripping as ever from Nicci French but I did find the accents from the narrator very off-putting/irritating, sorry.

Another Excellent Frieda Klein Story

I've only ever listened to this series on Audible, largely because of the excellent Beth Chalmers. I particularly enjoyed this story because it was a little different, with Frieda spending most of in a different environment. As always, an excellent and compelling listen.

Good follow on in the series

Excellent story again. Shame about Sandy but Freda still being 'protected' by Dean. Can't wait for next book.

The next instalment of the Frieda Klein series

Where does Friday on My Mind rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

In the middle somewhere - I enjoyed listening to it but it wasn't necessarily one of the best.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Josef - I like how he is such a good friend to Frieda.

Have you listened to any of Beth Chalmers’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Yes, I would say this is on a par with the others I have listened to.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No -it was too long and I don't have time to listen to books in one sitting! I did listen for 2-3 hours at a time though and finished it within a week.

I'll miss Frieda!

This whole series has been thoroughly enjoyable. The stories are interesting and the characters get better with familiarity.
Beth Chalmers narrates brilliantly- great accents and tones- completely believable drawing you into the story.
My only criticism would be that sometimes in chapters that have several different parts there is not enough time to establish a change of topic/scene/environment. I listen mostly when I walk or drive and would be rewinding I confusion to see how or where I missed the change of topic.
However I will miss Frieda, Karllson, Joseph, Chloe et al...very entertaining. Thank you

Another narrator would have been preferable

Another brilliant book by Nicki French. Spoiled a bit by giving 2year old Ethan the vocabulary of a much older child nevertheless a good listen.,

Mediocre

The story wasn't, in my opinion, up to the usual standard of a Freida Kline novel.

Good listen

I listened to this book while on a long journey. The hours passed by without notice as we were all absorbed in the story. Good suspense.
