Resilience

Revisado: 02-26-24

High marks for recapturing the period in history, the power of human condition vs the new found power of propaganda. Against all odds, these rowers deserved every win they worked so hard to achieve. Thrilling listen.

Kid’s hilarious perspective

Revisado: 02-06-24

I liked everything, the complete story which ties all the chapters together, the narrator’s voice, the way it made me and my granddaughters laugh.

The cycle of living brings no relief to any of the caretakers of this plot of land

Revisado: 12-23-23

I kept waiting for some glimmer of hope for the people who passed through these woods. Different voices enhanced the mysteries unfolding, but the book left me empty.

Everything is fair in the end

Riveting and enjoyable stories- with a wide range of ideation. We didn’t even remember seeing Nebraska. This was my second listen, my husband’s first. Six stars!

Bloody good storytelling

Revisado: 11-17-23

I cannot remember if I reviewed this after the first listen. My husband and I enjoyed it equally well the second time around. The protagonist attracts catastrophe among old grudges, crooked cops, lost souls and lost love as he avenges a friend’s death in his hometown. Excellent descriptions. A few sentences stand out so well, I smiled. Universal appeal for folks who are open-minded.

Simmering resentments

Revisado: 09-19-23

While slightly unbelievable, the audible version spelled the miles and kept us entertained… which, of course, was what we needed. Some common elements: the sea, the locals, superstition and stories that fuel suspense and threw us off the scent of whodunnit.

So sorry Beatrice!

Revisado: 03-15-23

My husband and is enjoyed this mystery equally. It spelled the miles, stunningly told by the very articulate voice of the narrator. We stepped back into a different time where sleuthing unfolds at a pace that mirrors an era and social setting. Bravo! Our heroine rises above the expectations of her class and breeding- she has an inquisitive mind and is not afraid to use it. Wonderful listen. Dietre Mc

Chef challenge in and out of the kitchen

Revisado: 11-11-22

Another excellent Duncan Kinkaid /Gemma Jones collaboration. Set in the countryside, the descriptions of food mirror the idyllic setting- until a car accident, murder and deception complicate their weekend visit. Riveting listen.

Holy murder island

Revisado: 10-03-22

Vera at her typical best, wading through the waters of a series of murders against the backdrop of friends bound by secrets they are slow to reveal. Surprising ending. It ended well.

Agatha Christie and her equal in The Christie Affair

Revisado: 09-07-22

This has to be the book of 2022 for me and my daughters. The narrator creates a high dimension for listening, her voice modulating well with different people and dialects. Riveting, remarkable, resilient characters in face of life events that will forever change them- for the better. All is fair in the end; the conclusion can be considered sweet, slightly fanciful, but just what a reader needs.
