Since they're necessarily abridged, every audio is like the best version of the story with all the least interesting bits edited out.
Unless it's the plottiest version of the story, with all the interesting bits cut out. Because I've met audiodramas like that. And the television adaptation of Gaudy Night was def like that: heavy on the murder mystery, and light on Harriet's developing feelings re Peter.
But "Gaudy Night" - wow that one is interesting. Makes me want to find an unabridged copy somewhere.
Gaudy Night is a monster of a book, too, compared to at least some of the others. I wonder how much they had to pare it down for the audiodrama. (Tell me, did they include the dog collar??)
