Interesting story, distracting narration

Was really looking forward to hearing this as have come across the story in various Stuart history books and fancied listening to something a bit macabre in the run-up to Hallowe'en, not disappointed by the book itself but the narration has driven me a bit mad - Maggie Mash has a lovely voice but for some reason every single historical quote (and they happen very often as you would expect) is delivered in a strange croaky stage voice - often in regional accents - which I found deeply distracting and a bit ridiculous at times. Others may not find it an issue and it's quite possible I'm being fussy but I really did find the delivery distracting me from the words themselves which is a real shame.

Fascinating and beautifully rendered

A riveting book mellifluously read by Maggie Marsh. A chilling indictment of the position of the vulnerable in the early 17th century and an intriguing insight into court and dynastic politics in the Jacobean court.
