The day after a Gothic door is returned to its original place in the Mottisham village church, two men are found dead. The Welsh villagers, closed and suspicious of outsiders, believe their deaths were not accidental, but part of an ancient legend that told of an unrepentant monk who tried to enter to the church by grasping the door's iron knocker.

Another great story from Ellis Peters
Revisado: 11-27-22
Ellis Peters is one of my favorite authors and Simon Prebble is a terrific narrator.
Peters writes brilliantly and with such compassion for ALL of her characters, even the villains, scoundrels, and just plain unpleasant folks. She must have been an amazing human being.

They were the most horrific crimes of a new century: the murders of newborn innocents for which two British women were hanged at Holloway Prison in 1903. Decades later, mystery writer Josephine Tey has decided to write a novel based on Amelia Sach and Annie Walters, the notorious “Finchley baby farmers,” unaware that her research will entangle her in the desperate hunt for a modern-day killer.

Tey would be horrified

No spoilers here but if you know anything at all about Josephine Tey then you know that she was an intensely private person. Her portrayal in this book would have sickened her.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 133
Martha Macnamara knows that her daughter, Elizabeth, is in trouble; she just doesn't know what kind. Mysterious phone calls from San Francisco at odd hours of the night are the only contact she has had with Elizabeth for years. Now, Elizabeth has sent her a plane ticket and reserved a room for her at San Francisco's most luxurious hotel. Yet she has not tried to contact Martha since she arrived, leaving her lonely, confused, and a little bit worried. Into the story steps Mayland Long, a distinguished-looking and wealthy Chinese man who lives at the hotel and is drawn to Martha's good nature and ability to pinpoint the truth of a matter.

Narrator ruins it
Revisado: 02-27-20
I loved this book when I read it years ago and I was really looking forward to listening to it. I'm usually not all that critical of the narrations but this one was just awful. Middle aged Martha sounds like a teenage girl. I gave up after about 10 minutes and am returning it today.

A cursed druid, blackmailed by a faery queen to find a missing magic rock. Let's just hope they don't hack the druid off...for everyone's sake. Name's Colin McCool. Folks call me the Junkyard Druid. I hate that name. Despite my last name, I'm not "cool" like the other hunters in town. I don't run an occult bookstore, I've never owned a Harley, and I didn't inherit a family fortune passed down through generations of hunters before me. And I kind of have this curse on me that's messed up my life.

Don't bother
Revisado: 10-27-19
If there is even one original idea in this poorly written book, I failed to find it. I tried it because I am a fan of the Dresden Files and the Iron Druid series. I'm sorry I bothered. The good new is that Audible will give me my credit back.

good grief this was awful. I only made it 1/3 of the way through. 5 hours of my life gone! Margaret, the main character is whiny and thoroughly unpleasant. as others have said, the title is misleading. we only see the other 2 queens through her eyes.

Available to download for the very first time, the fantastic Inspector Appleby series by celebrated crime writer Michael Innes. Sir John Appleby dines one evening at Allington Park, the Georgian home of his acquaintance Owain Allington, who is new to the area. The evening comes to an end but just as Appleby is leaving, they find a dead man - electrocuted in the son et lumihre box which had been installed in the grounds.

Why didn't they bother to edit it?
Revisado: 04-12-14
Would you try another book from Michael Innes and/or Gordon Dulieu?
I love Michael Innes but did not like the performance by Gordon Dulieu
How did the narrator detract from the book?
the narrator was not able to convey different voices well. For example, in a conversation between Appleby and his wife Judith, it was not possible to tell from the voice which character was speaking! There were also mistakes in the reading which were not edited out. I would guess ALL narrators make the occasional flub, and this one just corrected himself and went right on, probably expecting that someone would snip out the bad bit. But they never did.
