With the constant and very annoying change or narrators, a winner had been found. I appreciated the different voices of Uhtred’s men and enemies.

I truly wish the publisher would have stuck with a single narrator for this series. I couldn’t stop correcting mispronunciations in my head! It was confusing at first to figure out what character the narrator was speaking about. But as least the mispronunciations were consistent. Great series but jarring when the narrator changes and is so different than the first few books.

The editor did the narrator no favors. Even before a sentence ended a new chapter would sometimes be announced. Very choppy.

Joe Pike always reminds me of Jack Reacher, bad assed and mysterious. The books featuring Pike are a little edgier and dark — and my favorite in this duo series.

Like fingernails on a chalkboard to listen to the narrator say La Cienega Blvd. or Sepulveda Boulevard. If you’re not sure how to pronounce names, ask someone. Or Editor, for God sakes, correct mispronunciations.  The accents were all pretty funny, but it was the mispronunciations that were killing me.

Anna M Rosenberg was a behind the scenes worker who had an enormous impact. Working with FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, LBJ, George Marshall and countless other major political figures, Anna Rosenberg was instrumental in shaping The New Deal, social security, desegregation of the military and was a labor mediator extraordinaire. It’s a fascinating read.

Dickens creates the most interesting and memorable characters. The narrator does each one of them justice. Make or female, eccentric or haughty, she voices each of them perfectly.

Mystery and action with a crime photographer. Rita Todacheene is Navajo and while the story includes elements of the Navajo culture, this is a crime novel where the protagonist just happens to be Navajo. I liked that. The narrator pronounced Navajo words and those from the southwest correctly and had the cadence of Navajo down pat. Heart pounding and interesting story.

This was marketed as a Lady Osbaldestone’s Christmas Chronicles. It isn’t. He grand dame makes a cameo appearance and Christmas must have come and gone during this very long story, but nothing like the rest of the series. The mystery was solvable early on and the rest is romance. How I wish I would have DNF instead of wasting time on a bad book. Two starts for romance readers. Zero stars otherwise.

Kingsolver nails this modern retelling of David Copperfield. Think the poor and orphaned children are only of Dickens time? The author shines a harsh light of how this is still happening today. Favorite characters from the Dickens classic are beautifully rendered for the 21st century. Look for the Copperfield Easter eggs that delight. This is beautifully written and pays homage to a loved classic. Narrated perfectly for the setting.
