Chapter 7 PL OK

This novel is very well suited for being an audiobook! if I were reading it on paper, I think I would get impatient with all the over-the-top-ness and start skimming a bit, but listening to it as an audiobook forces me to read it at the pacing the author intended, and the suspense and tension works really well.

Thanks, glad it's working for you! Yes, it is rather over-the-top. *g* Looking forward to your reaction to the ending...

Chapter 8 PL OK
Chapter 9 PL OK

Chapter 9 18:30 Abuse is pronounced Ab-Youss when it's a noun and Ab-Youzz when it's a verb. it sounds like you're saying Ab-Youzz here but it doesn't hinder understanding.

Thanks! : ) And thanks for the pronunciation note. Hmm, I think I won't re-record it, since it's a subtle thing and doesn't make it difficult to understand.

Chapter 10: PL OK

Also, wow! I dd not see that twist coming at the end of the chapter

I had to laugh at the sheer level of melodrama!

Thanks! Ha ha, I wondered if you were going to see it coming or not...

Chapter 11: PL OK

Chapter 12: I can't quite make out the very last sentence in this chapter. it sounds a bit like "Hide thy love knots with them".

Otherwise PL OK.

FYI the final vowel of Fontainebleau is pronounced OH and not UH. But this doesn't impact understanding in any way of course.

I learnt how to pronounce "antecedent" thanks to this chapter. Turns out I've been pronouncing it wrong my whole life!

Yes, that's exactly what the last line says. : )

Re: Fontainebleau, I think I've always somehow skipped the "a" and read it as Fontainebleu, which explains my mispronunciation. I've fixed and re-uploaded, I think you're supposed to check it again. The word is at 2:10.

Whew, I'm glad I did "antecedent" right!

Sometimes the sentences in this novel are so unusual I think I *must* have misheard

Chapter 12 PL OK

I think this one is done, then! : )
