Too much sex, lessened greatly the impact of the story

Revisado: 04-27-25

This is the third of Alan Hlad's books so far that I've listened to and this one had too much sex. I just got tired of listening to it and the description of how they all felt while going at it and how they did it and all that. I quit at 3 hours because I figured how much more of this am I going to have to listen to? it's a good story, Hlad is a good writer and his books have always been worth the credit but, sadly, no more. How the story turned out just didn't matter anymore. I have the last one he wrote to listen to yet and I hope I don't have to stop 3 hours before it's over either. I won't be getting anymore.

I love this series! the narrator is wonderful the story is interesting, especially how the author weaves in the details of the age in which it takes place, and there's not one swear word in the whole thing or in any of the series so far. I am very much looking forward to listening to the rest of them.

Good story, bad narrator

Revisado: 01-01-25

Well written story and flows well. Kept me interested. Narrator was extremely poor
and read like an automaton. If it weren't for the quality of the story I would never have finished it.

Excellent

Revisado: 05-26-24

Good research, a well-written true story weaving so many lives together, and a very good performance. I struggled a bit with all the characters and the families and their interactions no doubt because I was listening and couldn't read the book myself and make some lists in the front of who was whom. By a little after midway I pretty much had everybody where they belonged on the chessboard. The history of Leopold and Loeb was fascinating.

boring

Revisado: 05-15-24

I was taken in by the name of the author, the title, and the picture on the cover. I guess it's my own fault I didn't look into the description further. anyway it was not at all what it appeared to be, to me anyway, and I found myself skipping many parts. sorry that I used an audible credit for it.

Favorite?

Revisado: 04-06-24

Every time I listen to a Tey novel I think this one must be my favorite. It never turns out that way as the next one always takes its place. At the moment this is my absolute favorite! A wonderful story And a talented narrator made this a joy to listen to. Looking forward to my next Tey novel.

Wonderful story with an equally wonderful performance. Be sure to listen to Prisoner of Zenda first.

The performance is what puts these stories over the top!

Revisado: 02-26-24

This is the third of this series I've listened to and each story has been well written and lots of fun. The performance of the reader has been excellent and I've already researched her for some of the other books she has narrated. I hope she always is used for Dianne Freeman's work.

Another Rhys Bowen hit. The first one not a part of one of her series that I have heard and I'm looking forward to listening to another one.
