This one always felt like a diverting vacation project of Merriman's. It doesn't even approximate the roads-have-power quality of the other books. And an American narrator! What an insult to Welsh pride and good taste everywhere.

Was the narrator Alex Jennings (excerpt here: https://catalog.dclibrary.org/vufind/Record/ocn124073916)? Is he an American faking a British accent? I seem to hear some American flatness occasionally, but that would just be too damn weird.
