Historia
Who hasn’t wondered for a split second what the world would be like if a person who is the object of your affliction ceased to exist? But then you’ve probably never heard of The McMasters Conservatory, dedicated to the consummate execution of the homicidal arts. To gain admission, a student must have an ethical reason for erasing someone who deeply deserves a fate no worse (nor better) than death. The campus of this “Poison Ivy League” college—its location unknown to even those who study there—is where you might find yourself the practice target of a classmate.

Best deal on Audible
Revisado: 11-02-18
This is the best value for a single credit on Audible. It’s 85 hours of a fun romp; not too lightweight, but not so heavy that it wears the listener down. It’s easy to break down into small sections, and the narrator is fabulous!

Historia
Rose Baker seals men’s fates. With a few strokes of the keys that sit before her, she can send a person away for life in prison. A typist in a New York City Police Department precinct, Rose is like a high priestess. Confessions are her job. It is 1923, and while she may hear every detail about shootings, knifings, and murders, as soon as she leaves the interrogation room she is once again the weaker sex, best suited for filing and making coffee. This is a new era for women, and New York is a confusing place for Rose. Gone are the Victorian standards of what is acceptable. All around her women bob their hair, they smoke, they go to speakeasies.

It took a while for me to really get into this story, but once it had sucked me in I was completely entranced. The narrator was excellent and her voice was perfect for the characters and time period.

Historia
Transported from the mid-twentieth century to New York City in the year 1882, Si Morley walks the fashionable "Ladies' Mile" of Broadway, is enchanted by the jingling sleigh bells in Central Park, and solves a 20th-century mystery by discovering its 19th-century roots. Falling in love with a beautiful young woman, he ultimately finds himself forced to choose between his lives in the present and the past. A story that will remain in the listener's memory, Time and Again is a remarkable blending of the troubled present and a nostalgic past....

Led to this by Stephen King
Revisado: 01-08-12
Would you listen to Time and Again again? Why?
Yes, I believe so. It certainly pales in comparison to the Stephen King story that led so many of us to it, but it's an interesting tale in it's own right. I'll agree with other reviewers that the detail in the story drags on forever, and it definitely could have been told as well or better in half the words, but overall it was an intriguing story and I enjoyed it.
What does Paul Hecht bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Unfortunately, the narration also suffers when compared to Craig Wasson's performance of
Any additional comments?
For anyone who is considering this based on the afterword in King's

Odd use of two narrators
Revisado: 03-15-09
It seems rather pointless to have two narrators if you're not going to have the man read all of the male characters and the woman read all of the female ones. Simply alternating chapters only created confusion by giving each character two 'voices'. I like both narrators, and have enjoyed Patrick Lawlor's narration of other books, but I never really got comfortable with him as Nash.
This is definitely more romance than espionage thriller, but the story kept me entertained throughout. This was my first Suzanne Brockmann book, and while I enjoyed it, I'm not sure that I'll use my credits for any more.

Much better than the Publisher's Summary indicates
Revisado: 02-05-09
The "Publisher's Summary" is really misleading. It makes this book sound like a sex-at-the-office-but-no-plot story, and that is the furthest thing from the truth. This is more of a legal/political thriller -- granted, it's not a real intense thriller and there is a definite romantic subplot, but there is much more to it than the summary indicates. It's a very engaging story, and well read by this narrator. I enjoyed every minute of it!

A definite winner!
Revisado: 01-14-09
I bought this book based on the predominately positive reviews, and was not disappointed. The story is interesting, but not so convoluted that it's hard to follow. The characters are engaging and well-defined. What really makes this book shine, in my opinion, is the narrator. Many male readers have a hard time getting the right tone for female characters, but David Colacci presented the women as effortlessly as the varied accents of the many male characters. No artificial falsetto screeches here; his women have slightly husky, but definitely feminine voices.
Overall, this is a very interesting and entertaining story. While there is violence (it's a spy story, after all), it's not excessive. I admit to being a little squeamish when violence is described in minute detail, but nothing in this story ever made me want to skip forward.
I'm looking forward to more of this author's writing!

Loved it!
Revisado: 09-27-08
I agree wholeheartedly with the previous reviewer -- this is the best I've ever heard using two narrators. Joyce Bean's voice has a very pleasant tone and she does accents beautifully. Dick Hill's narration takes a little bit of getting used to because of his delivery style, but he also has a very pleasant voice and very clear enunciation. When reading 'in character', they are both amazing -- conversations between them flow easily with all of the nuances of the characters' personalities.
The only thing I thought was a bit unexpected about this story was the lack of tension. I was surprised at how easily the two main characters trusted each other and other people with no background information at all. I was also surprised at how often that worked out just fine -- with the CIA and all of those bad guys I expected a few more double crosses. Personally, I prefer this style so I was very pleased with the story.
And you REALLY don't want to miss those love scenes!

This story seemed a bit slow to get going -- for most of the first section I felt that there were several questions, but no real 'mystery'. The big mystery really appeared in part 2 and made me appreciate the detail and background that led up to it. This is a richly detailed story with some fascinating twists, and the music is the icing on the cake. I have a new favorite author!
