The video has subtitles now so is ok even if one does not understand french .

Sobranies, accent on second syllable, pls.

British - English - White - Race - Culture and Civilization permeated England before 1900. England’s political Elites felt guilty about their non - white imperialisms and as a liberal form of psychological compensation invited the former empires non - whites to emirate to England. And now the chickens have come home to roost. The same thing can happen to your country!

Consistently speaking French at the beginning...

whose here for school?

I enjoyed this. Thank you.

Actually, I thought this was very well done…. ….not even comparing it to AI… computer voices. And while familiar with Sayers, I had not heard this story. Well done, I say… what Well done, old chap

I lost the plot immediately. Oh, well. Great narrator. I love Dorothy L. Sayers.

Can you please name the narrator as I recognise the voice but do not know the name.

The reading is just fine. Even if it may be AI. I don't understand why people who listen to this for free complain and criticize.

Dorothy L. Sayers was highly educated and spoke and wrote French perfectly. In the book Clouds of Witness Wimsey's brother is charged with murder but the evidence which clears him turns out to be a long letter written in French. Miss Sayers is rumoured to have been surprised when asked to provide her publishers with an English translation, since she'd imagined her readers would all have spoken and read French as well as she did.

I loved the narration. Ian Carmichael is not the standard I judge by. I look forward to the others! Thsnks!

I can't even recognise this as a Lord Peter Wimsey story with the deadly narration - have to stop hearing it.

I was halfway through listening to a dramatisation of "Clouds of Witness", with the indispensable Ian Carmichael, when suddenly when it suddenly suddenly came to an abrupt halt on grounds of copyright.

great

great

great

I'm kicking it to the curb too. I thought I was the only one that thought this was crap! Only Ian Carmichael can do Winsey properly.

Arrrrrrgh! AI strikes again.

Who is the narrator? Thank you.

sad story.

Infinity of ads

With all due respect to the reader he could put in a decent effort. The accent didn’t bother me too much but there seemed no attempt to differentiate voices, no variation of pacing, it was all read too fast without emphasis. Such a drone was good to send me to sleep though. The voice has potential but needs some real effort put into it.

This is one of the best short stories I have ever read. Chesterton was magnificant!

The only error is in the pronunciation of name Death... it should be pronounced in this instance as De-ath, two syllables xxx

Thank you for these small gems

Definitely a cautionary tale. Jack London excelled in tales of the North and it's challenges.

Not an impessive reading. Pity. Not that I could have done better... Noticed that then "to cloakroom" was a verb?

Its hard to follow this one if you dont speak French….

Hmm...

I think this reader is much better than Ian Carmichael, who always sounds totally unrealistic. No one speaks like Carmichael, not even the most 'aristoctratic' Enlishperson. Not even the royals. This reader is more 'normal'

paused at 44 seconds...tempo, narrator, vocabulary and wit have captured me attention.

What Fun!

Oh dear, I have to abandon this, the language makes no sense when read by a robot!

Sorry. This is second class reading. Ian Carmichael is available on TH-cam reading these stories- perfect.

Fun story, so thank you for sharing!

Lovely, i did something similar with a horrible manager.......

Wonderfully read, great find!

It is so pleasant to have a male reader who doesn’t have a mouth full of spit or marbles especially when speaking French words.

Thank you for unploading. A little more attention to consistency in pronunciation of French words would improve this reading. For example, the reader always says Paris in the anglicized form even when it is directly coupled with Evreux, which is correctly pronounced in French. These small things grate on the ear and spoil an otherwise enjoyable story.

Interesting murder mystery. I've never heard of Lord Peter stories, but this is my second listen of them. Hopefully there will be more? Thanks for a great job narrating!

Thanks to the volunteer for giving up his time and providing this to all of us with no cost. We are lucky to have it. Please find out how libravox works before complaining.

Absolutely perfect reading of this most underrated tale!

Recently watched a version of this tale on a rerun of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Brilliant.

Ian Carmichael. This no talent American Ain't. Shame.

Could not listen who choose this person !

No - accent is wrong and actor not up to the task - perhaps would better suited to portray a southern gent or a NY stock exchange mogul.

At first I was disturbed by the accent, but a few minutes in I stopped hearing it. This is a lovely reading, clear and beautifully paced. Thank you.

An American accent? Simply not cricket

Lord Peter wimsey does not have an American /Canadian voice? Gave up. If it's going to be read st least do it in the correct voice. As pointed out its not a drama but is read by an actor who should be able to do it. Uk actors are very good at being able to do many accents perhaps one of them should have been used.
