Tombland is a Superb Work
Revisado: 03-05-20
Superb writing and performance. C.J. Sansom’s brilliance is on full display. The vividness of his word pictures along with Steven Crossley’s performance points this to being a masterpiece of historical fiction. Adding to the enjoyment was the length of the book. Never boring or tedious this tour de force is fitting resolution of the Shardlake story and what is possibly C.J. Sansom’s last writing . End brought tears to my eyes.

From New York Times-best-selling author Philip Kerr, the much-anticipated return of Bernie Gunther, our compromised former Berlin bull and unwilling SS officer. With his cover blown, he is waiting for the next move in the cat-and-mouse game that, even a decade after Germany's defeat, continues to shadow his life.

Ruso and Tilla's excitement at arriving in Rome with their new baby daughter is soon dulled by their discovery that the grand facades of polished marble mask an underworld of corrupt landlords and vermin-infested tenements. There are also far too many doctors - some skilled - but others positively dangerous.

Each story gets better and better. Exacting detail of life in Rome portrayed with humanity. Same universal emotions of love for family, fear, anxiety, economic survival, and pleas to higher source.
What does Simon Vance bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Simon Vance is superb. His voicings of each character give a reality to the storyline that surpasses what could be achieved with the written word. The man is a unique talent and I thank him for the hours of entertainment he provides whatever the novel.

Michael Gallatin is a British spy with a peculiar talent: the ability to transform himself into a wolf. Although his work in North Africa helped the Allies win the continent in the early days of World War II, he quit the service when a German spy shot his lover in her bed. Now, three years later, the army asks him to end his retirement and parachute into occupied Paris. A mysterious German plan called the Iron Fist threatens the D-Day invasion, and the Nazi in charge is the spy who betrayed Michael’s lover. The werewolf goes to France for king and country, hoping for a chance at bloody vengeance.

The Wolf's Hour: Superb Story and Performance
Revisado: 12-02-16
I'm not a fan of science fiction at all. Find it silly and tedious. This story however is so unique and the context so engrossing that it took on an enjoyable twist of reality. The dramatic read was superb and added sophisticated touch to the werewolf episodes. The main character could easily have supported a series of books. Odd that only one sequel was issued years after the initial release. This book will provide any fan of WW II espionage with hours of enthralling entertainment.

Jefferson Tayte is good at finding people who don't want to be found. For years he has followed faint genealogical trails to reunite families - and uncover long-hidden secrets. But Tayte is a loner, a man with no ties of his own; his true identity is the most elusive case of his career. But that could all be about to change. Now Tayte has in his possession the beginnings of a new trail - clues his late mentor had started to gather - that might at last lead to his own family.

Excellent Read
Revisado: 04-19-16
Any book read by Simon Vance is enjoyable. I've read Steve Robinson's earlier novels and found their historical context a fascinating backdrop to Jefferson Tayte's personal quest and storyline. It was a treat to listen to this most recent novel and again found the story riveting. I look forward to more JT mysteries read by Simon Vance.
