I just feel like I need to share this somewhere.
I've been listening to a series (Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes Mysteries) for the past year or so. Normally, I'm not a fan of audio books because I can read much faster. But as an incentive to be more active, I started to download them on Hoopla.
And I feel like I really fell in love with the narrator! Her name was Jenny Sterlin. She was so amazing! She had voices for different characters, and did accents so well. It didn't sound like someone just reading a book. She was telling a story.
She also narrated Howl's Moving Casle, Tales from the Earthsea, and many others.
Then, I got to the most recent book (The Lantern's Dance), and it was a different narrator. It just wasn't the same. So it made me curious on why they would just switch narrators after all theses years. And so many books (there's about 25 books in the series). After searching Google, I found out she passed in December 2023.
RIP Jenny Sterlin. Thank you for reigniting my love of audio books.

It’s sad when you find out a favorite author or narrator has died or can no longer work. Especially when you’ve just found their work, so it’s new and fresh to you, so it hits unexpectedly.
Thank you for sharing!
There are many books narrated by Jenny Sterlin on the audiobook app I use, I will pick one and listen. RIP.
