I did not like the voice he gave to Jefferson Tayte at all. ![]() I understand the choice of a British reader since the whole book (minus the very beginning) takes place in England, but it just threw me off because the main character is American and while the book is not a first person narrative, it still put me off-kilter a bit. As far as the performance went, as much as I like Simon Vance's voice, I had a difficult time with him reading this book. I found myself yelling at him those times. He didn't draw much emotion from me at all, except frustration several times when I thought he did some things and made some choices that weren't smart. I didn't hate him, but I didn't like him either. I never really got to like him very much. However, I had trouble connecting with Jefferson Tayte. I really enjoyed how there were scenes both in the present day and in the last. Maybe I set my expectations too high? The mystery itself was intriguing and had several layers which was a plus. ![]() I had very high hopes for this book as I am a huge fan of the Dan Waddell series featuring genealogist Nigel Barnes and was looking for something similar. ![]()
