Hilarious!
English is Fun!
This is my favorite version of this story. Some seem to think that the speed of the reading is too fast but I find it just right because it reflects the mad rush and confusion of the detectives. Brilliant!

Oh dear. This reader again. Why is she in such a race to get to the end of a sentence and to charge not the next sentence without a pause. Impossible to enjoy.
Well read, a good and funny short story

Possibly a tad fast, but worth only one star? NO.

I enjoyed this reading and had no problem following the reader, a lady with a very pleasant voice. Perhaps if I was slooow on the uptake, I would have trouble following along, but that would be my problem more than that of the reader's.
Running a race

I swear this reader never took a breath. She is fast it is distracting. She is also emotionless,
Nicely done!
