England, 1914. Joanna Blalock's keen mind and incredible insight lead her to become a highly skilled nurse, one of the few professions that allow her to use her finely tuned brain. But when she and her 10-year-old son witness a man fall to his death, apparently by suicide, they are visited by the elderly Dr. John Watson and his charming, handsome son, Dr. John Watson Jr. Impressed by her forensic skills, they invite her to become the third member of their investigative team.

Not at all Extraordinary
Revisado: 05-09-18
I don't typically write reviews and am generally not as harsh about audio books as some of the reviews I read. I can handle a small amount of predictability and repetitiveness as long as I'm generally entertained, but this book was not good. The elder Watson had to have said, "That's extraordinary" at least 50 times through the story. It was probably more. It was tedious, not just in story but in dialogue. The author tried to fit too much plot into character dialogue. Absolutely no one talks like that and it does not make them sound more intelligent or interesting. It's like someone read a Sherlock Holmes story and then an Introduction to Writing book and then wrote this book. I love Sherlock Holmes mysteries and women detective stories, but this one was substandard. Don't waste your credits. If you want a female Sherlock Holmes story listen to Sherry Thomas' A Study in Scarlet Women, or, for a decent female detective story listen to Deanna Raybourn's Veronica Speedwell Mysteries. They at least won't leave you rolling your eyes at the narration.

Better than I expected
Revisado: 10-11-16
This was better than I was expecting. I like mystery/detective stories and while this wasn't quite that, it had enough back story and secrets to keep me entertained. I like being taken to a different place and time when listening to stories and this did that. I wish it had been longer but I see there is a second installment so that will do.

In Dad is Fat, stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan, who’s best known for his legendary riffs on Hot Pockets, bacon, manatees, and McDonald's, expresses all the joys and horrors of life with five young children - everything from cousins ("celebrities for little kids") to toddlers’ communication skills ("they always sound like they have traveled by horseback for hours to deliver important news"), to the eating habits of four-year-olds ("there is no difference between a four-year-old eating a taco and throwing a taco on the floor").

Read if you have a lot of kids
Revisado: 01-30-15
I expected more humor about parenting in general, but the main point of this book seemed to be that he has 5 kids. We got it already. You have a lot of kids. The funniest story in the whole book came at the beginning when he was describing a trip they took with friends who just had their first child and he didn't have kids yet. I am a parent, but I had a hard time relating because I don't live in NYC and I don't have 5 kids.
