Little in common with Lady McBeth. Maybe it was a cautionary tale? Thankfully it was brief and with few characters to get confused. I usually slow audio right down when I am listening in bed, but for the first time I found a reader that this did terrible things to. Overall mildly interesting story, tolerable reader.
