The rich history it covered.
Revisado: 08-31-24
the narrator's voice and pronunciations made it difficult to hear and understand sometimes. But it's only with the names and places that were foreign to me. To read the book would probably change that.

Historia
The death of a ninety-year-old woman with a heart condition should not be suspicious. Detective Sergeant Harbinder Kaur certainly sees nothing out of the ordinary when Peggy’s caretaker, Natalka, begins to recount Peggy Smith’s passing. But Natalka had a reason to be at the police station: while clearing out Peggy’s flat, she noticed an unusual number of crime novels, all dedicated to Peggy. And each psychological thriller included a mysterious postscript: PS: for PS.

Wonderful cosy mystery!
Revisado: 04-06-21
I heard the author's interview on my local PBS station. She got the idea for this book from her aunt who calls her with ideas for murdering someone. I was intrigued and I was not disappointed! Such a wonderful range of characters and a well written plot will keep you guessing until the end!

Historia
Beck is everything Joe has ever wanted: she's gorgeous, tough, razor-smart, and sexy beyond his wildest dreams. Joe needs to have her, and he'll stop at nothing to do so. As he begins to insinuate himself into her life - her friendships, her email, her phone - she can’t resist her feelings for a guy who seems custom-made for her. So when her boyfriend, Benji, mysteriously disappears, Beck and Joe fall into a tumultuous affair. But there's more to Beck than her oh-so-perfect façade.

Gripping
Revisado: 01-15-20
The mind of a sociopath/psychopath can become repetitive. A gripping story told only through the perspective of the sociopath/psychopath. He sounds almost reasonable in his explanations of his actions. Everything almost makes sense. Scarily so how he is able to track his prey/love so thoroughly.

Cliffhanger
Revisado: 07-17-19
The last story ends with a sad cliffhanger but fortunately I discovered from reading another reviewer's comments it does continue with the first full length book, Dead in the Water. So glad for the tip and I am passing this along. Enjoy!

Tediously slow
Revisado: 04-08-19
I usually love Alive Hoffman 's books but this story is more of a biography. And I usually like biographies, but this book was so slow and uneventful I just couldn't make myself finish it. Hopefully I can return this book.

Everything was wonderful, the stories and the narration. I only wish the rest of the 8 course feast was covered. It only covered the first three.

Polly Waterford is recovering from a toxic relationship. Unable to afford their flat, she has to move miles away from everyone, to a sleepy little seaside resort in Cornwall, where she lives alone above an abandoned shop.

I enjoy Jenny Coghan's books but while the narator did well with female's, terrible with males.

The Smartest Book in the World is based on Proops' sensational, iTunes Top 10 podcast. The audiobook is a rollicking reference guide to the most essential areas of knowledge in Proops' universe, from the noteworthy names of the ancient world and baseball to the movies you must see and the albums you must hear.

Smartest book about Baseball !
Revisado: 06-10-18
I thought this would be a funny literate book of words and current mores. It's really all about baseball's great and all the mind numbing stats. I didn't enjoy this book and felt misled by the summary. Only purchase if you want to hear a pretensionist ass spout stats.
