What didn’t you like about Alexander Adams’s performance? I'm moving on to The Wicked Girls by Alex Marwood. What do you think your next listen will be? I guess I didn't read the book description well enough because it turns out that this is narrated by Alexander Adams and, after the rich southern accents of Sycamore Row, this narration just isn't up to par.
