  Hey everyone! Thanks so much for listening 🙏<br>This channel is a new venture for me — I’m a writer bringing my stories to life in audiobook form on a tiny budget. For now I’m experimenting with different narration tools until I can afford to hire real voice actors.<br><br>My goal is to hit 1,000 subs so I can take this channel to the next level and get professional narrators involved. Your support means the world — thank you for being here at the very start of the journey!<br>— Benjamin

  Thanks to everyone who has listened to this audiobook. A few of you have mentioned the ending, and after checking it myself I’ve found there’s unfortunately an audio glitch near the end of the upload. After several minutes, the audiobook does continue with the epilogue and closing message, so if you fast forward you can hear the ending but I completely understand that many listeners would think the story had ended before then. Unfortunately I no longer have the original editing project, so I’m unable to repair this version. My sincere apologies for the frustration, and thank you all for listening and for taking the time to let me know. – Ben

  You really capture the style perfectly, and made something delightfully new with it. And the characterization, particularly of Benoit, but of all the characters, is just superb. <br>I do look forward to human narration. The section titles flowing out of the last sentence of the previous section is confusing, as is the occasional punctuation being voiced (“Ben-dash-dash-O. I. T. “)

  This is a great story. It’s fun yet engaging. I love the main character he would give Sherlock a run for his money no doubt! :) One minor improvement I would ask you to consider would be to decrease the length of time between pauses. Otherwise the punctuation is spot on! Bravo 👏🏻 so many AI creators do not understand how or underestimate the power of &nbsp;punctuation, it irritates me to no end. What could have been a great listen becomes a “nope,” within the first few run-on sentences. Great characters great plot/storyline, great setting! Amy human voice is 100 times better than the best AI! Thank you for sharing this with us! I can’t wait for the next one!

  4hrs19mins 15.secs.. Well worth a listen.. AI having a hissy fit. This is brilliant farce.<br>Oh Benjamin, I would gladly narrate this for you should you wish to re-record. &nbsp;However, this should be preserved for future generations as a prime example of early AI narration. It is, you must admit, hilarious. I giggled throughout. Many thanks. J

  I quite enjoyed your audiobook, thank you. &nbsp;After listening I tried to find other Benoit Picard mysteries with no avail. &nbsp;I did find a Benoit Blanc audiobook. &nbsp;Also very enjoyable but because of the style, rhythm, and the hook of mentioning every major character&apos;s reaction to every &nbsp;significant event as a sort of chorus of reactions made me think of this fine narrative. &nbsp;Do you have any association with that work?
