Lewis, Not Northam
Revisado: 05-23-21
I love these books and the audio books have been just as adored. However, Jeremy Northam does not do justice to this story. Frankly, he sounds bored or sleepy throughout his narration and it saps much of the enjoyment. C.S. Lewis deserves five stars for an imaginative novel that doesn't disappoint even at this length. But at this length, a reader like Alex Jennings, or Kenneth Branagh (for other books in the series) would have made the experience stellar... Someone like Anthony Andrews or Steven Mackintosh. My two cents.

There's a murderer on the loose - but that doesn't stop the girls of St. Etheldreda's from attempting to hide the death of their headmistress in this rollicking farce. The students of St. Etheldreda's School for Girls face a bothersome dilemma. Their irascible headmistress, Mrs. Plackett, and her surly brother, Mr. Godding, have been most inconveniently poisoned at Sunday dinner.

Fun
Revisado: 05-23-21
Worth a listen for all the fun of it. (Initially found it annoying to hear the girls addressed by their identifying characteristic, but it grew on me and helped me keep the straight.)

From the Queen of Mystery, The Man in the Brown Suit, in which a young woman makes a dangerous decision to investigate a shocking “accidental” death she witnesses at a London tube station, and in 4:50 From Paddington, a woman in one train witnesses a murder occurring in another passing one…and only Miss Marple believes her story.

Dual Narratives
Revisado: 05-23-21
This review is primarily for The Man in Brown Suit: I was jogging right along when Christie's era-specific racist depictions ruined an OK story for me. I also found the, uh, meet-cute of two main characters to be problematic (read: violent and therefore their subsequent love story is, for me, improbable). As far as 4:50 from Paddington, I hope I can be forgiven for saying the TV/film treatments are really just better.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 2,760
The story of Lilith, born into slavery on a Jamaican sugar plantation at the end of the 18th century. Even at her birth, the slave women around her recognize a dark power that they - and she - will come to both revere and fear. The Night Women, as they call themselves, have long been plotting a slave revolt, and as Lilith comes of age and reveals the extent of her power, they see her as the key to their plans.

Complicated Denouement
Revisado: 05-23-21
The writing is stellar and the pacing seems bewitched; the reader is never left bored or stranded. But the "resolution" left me frustrated and puzzled. I wasn't sure what the author really wanted his story to convey. As for the narration, honestly Robin Miles deserves all the awards. This book is not for the fainthearted.
