![]() ![]() In the end I do like the accents that make a story even more realistic. Later in the book I did go back to the Echo and it seemed much better. Then I switched to my Bose headset and found it much easier to conectrate and I didn't find the accent a problem at all. I first started listening to this book on my Amazon Echo and found the accent a bit tough due to the extraneous noise, I really had to concentrate. Usually in a book like this it takes a while to get your ear tuned into the accent. ![]() ![]() One last thing, the narrator has a distinct Scottish accent. Well, you'll just have to listen to the book to find out. He mainly smokes too much but Rebus also drinks too much, has a terrible diet, has to take breaks walking up steps to the point where you wonder if Ranking is going to have him expire at book's end as an end to the series. As he is simply trying to tie up some loose ends before his retirement. Its late in the fall in Edinburgh and late in the career of Detective Inspector John Rebus. One side note to this book is answering the question, is this the last book in the series? The author makes references to Rebus' health throughout the book. Buy a cheap copy of Exit Music book by Ian Rankin. Working with his long time sidekick, DS Clark, John works the case(s) in his way, alienating coworkers and the bad guys along the way. This book has two murders and a solid beating that need solving at the very end of John's career. Rebus is like the other good crime novel series I like, the detective is flawed but you can't help but like him and he gets the crime solved even if not always in a conventional manner. If you've made it this far, you must be a John Rebus series fan. ![]()
