Just listened to the first three episodes of Morland P.I.! (An audio-drama podcast adaptation of Northanger Abbey)

I especially enjoyed episode 3 - Kit displays a blend of vigilance and naiveté which feels very Catherine Morland... also it had Mr Allen, who is always a favourite of mine in the book, and who did not disappoint!

#i was a little unsure about the substitution of true crime for gothic literature at first...#true crime feels a bit more serious than if she'd been a fan of horror movies or something #but it seems to be working out so far #i suppose the point is that catherine / kit can't draw the line between #what is appropriate awareness of potential danger and what is blowing things out of proportion #it does feel like that element of her personality has been brought a little earlier in the story #but i don't think it's a bad thing #it helps make up for the lack of the narrator's irony which is such a characteristic part of that early bit of the book #morland pi #northanger abbey #kit morland #catherine morland #mr allen #really enjoyable voice acting by mr allen
