Twists and turned almost ruined by the narrator
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The narrator.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Didn't really like many of the main characters, the men were portrayed without any redeeming characteristics and the women were portrayed as weak (emphasised by the squeaky voices they were given).
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator spoiled the telling of the story by insisting on providing the characters with voices which she couldn't really do or maintain. There were only about 4 different voices for the whole cast and they kept reverting to her own voice if they had long speeches.
Was The Winter Folly worth the listening time?
Yes, having moaned above about the story you might think I hated it but I ended up thoroughly enjoying the story and am glad I continued despite all my complaints. There were enough twists and turns to keep you guessing almost all the way to the end.

Superb!
Loved the ups and downs and the twists in the story. Just when you think you've got the whole thing sussed, it springs another surprise. Really enjoyed it and would like to read/listen to more by this author.
