Interesting book, terrible narrator

Are usually like books that are situated in Russia. This one was also very interesting due to the story of the unsolved mystery of the nine students who died 50 years ago in the Ural.
But the narrator had a very distinct dialect. It sounded more like Scottish or something, I couldn’t quite place it,, since I am not a native speaker. But the dialect distracted me so much, that I almost stopped the audiobook and for the first time considered giving it back and wanting a refund.
I also have the feeling, that the author didn’t quite catch the “Russian soul”. The conversations and expressions sounded more like an English native speaker’s than a Russian’s.
I think, after all the Russian authors I read, that Russians have a very flowery way to talk to talk and never blunt. Apart from that, I was very interested in the story and suffered through the book, to find out, what the authors idea of a conclusion was.
This is a novel mind you, based on true events. But it is still an interpretation of the author.
I might want to read more about the Djatloff tragedy in order to be able to compare the different stories and explanations. I would recommend the book but not the audio version of this book.

interessante Theorie

wer sich mit dem Mysterium dieses Falles schon beschäftigt hat, wird feststellen dass hier wirklich alles angesprochen und aufgearbeitet wird, in neuen Kombinationen. Das Ende fand ich etwas abrupt, aber ansonsten hat mir das Hörbuch sehr gefallen.
