I believe you can say both "beat about the bush" and "beat around the bush", so the sentence is ok, but the audio doesn't match.

The audio doesn't match. That's what I meant.

Sorry, marafon, you're right, as always :)

The sentence is fine, but to match the audio, @CK, the sentence text should be changed to:

Tom didn't beat around the bush.
