Quantum of Nightmares: Book 2 of the New Management, a series set in the world of the Laundry Files

the book itself is good, though not as good as the early Laundry ones. But Imogen Church does a, for me, absolutely terrible job at reading. The character voices are exaggerated and silly, and her voice shifts between almost inadible and so loud that I worry about damaging my ears. To me, this ruins the book, and I considered abandoning the audio book altogether multiple times. As for the book itself, the gore sometimes feels unnecessary for the story and gratuitous. And, Stross' desire to demonstrate his own morality and lecture the reader is sometimes a bit much to be honest.

Wow! A brilliant performance by Imogen Church brings the whole cast of characters to life! I love all Charles Stross' stories, but *this audiobook* in particular is a cut above - an absolute gem - thanks to Imogen Church's incredible talent and range of voice characterisation. Simply the best laundry files audiobook to date!
