Actually, I supposed "performed" is the better word.
Robin Bailey, whom I first saw over twenty years ago as Charters on Mystery! in the 6-part serial Charters and Caldicott, has a great voice and is able to do a wide range of accents.
I first came across his audio work in Agatha Christie's Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and thought he did a great job in this, one of my favorite Christie novels.
He also seems to have been the performer of choice for the Catherine Aird novels, featuring Inspector C.D. Sloan, which I quite enjoy.
Indeed, I now have quite a collection of audio books on tape by Bailey, unfortunately because libraries are de-accessioning them. I've been able to pick them up on Amazon.com, cheap.
Some of his Agatha Christie ones, at least, have been transferred onto CD. And then again, some haven't! (You can tell by the width of the "cover" - if its square, it's now on CD, if its rectangular, they are still cassettes.)
Catherine Aird
However his Catherine Aird ones appear not to be reissued in that format, which is a pity.
