Listening to a mystery novel set in Quebec [View all]

By Louise Penny. The Three Pines Series is based on the novels she wrote. I saw a comment that praised the narrator. It is hard for me to think that an actual person read this book. I thought from different inflections, accents on syllables, and timing it was an AI reading. There are French phrases scattered through the dialogue, that even to my Anglo ear, are badly pronounced. I finally realized today that the pronunciation reminds me of Ralph and Herbie, a skit that Cheech and Chong did. One of the dogs gets a whiff of Fifi, and says, "parley voo, hubba, hubba"

I don't want to complain too much. The books are free on You Tube. I can hear better than see
