Narrator Change not Great

Revisado: 09-02-22

I basically agree that after binge listening to the whole series the narrator change in this most recent book was disconcerting. I got used to the new Brooklyn voice but Derek sounded stiff and rigid. His voice was less present and not sympathetic. It also felt inserted. Would love to hear Susie Bereis in any future books in this series.

A shadow of Alex Jameson

Revisado: 04-25-20

I generally enjoy the stories in David Baldacci's books. I was disappointed in this book, however, with the development of Alex Jameson as nothing more than a foil for Amos Decker to bounce ideas off of. It makes the protagonist relationship unbalanced and actually makes both characters weaker.

I grew up on Georgette Heyer Regencies. My sister and cousins would read and discuss them when we were kids. I had not reread any for decades. I was delighted with this audible book. It was one of those belly laughing experiences in the car, while cleaning, or just listening. Very funny with all of the regency quirks one would expect. Highly recommended.

The Bdginning of a great series.

Revisado: 07-10-10

I somehow happened upon Silver Pigs in hardbound, the year that it was first published. After adjusting to the culture shock of life in empirial Rome I was intrigued and highly entertained by the characters and plot twists that were presented by Lindsey Davis. I faithfully awaited each new book until life distracted me but have recently gone back to the series in Audible format.

It is hard to believe that audio could improve on the written form but it clearly does. Christian Rodska, who narrates all of the unabridged titles that are available from Audible is amazing at portraying Falco in all of his cynical but ethical glory. He is also able to add interest to the sometimes almost pedantic delivery of information about the cultures and history that are a must to understand the plots that unfold. This audio and the rest of the series is one of the most amazing ways to get a sense of the everyday life in Empirial Rome as well as getting an idea of the scale and scope of the Roman Empire.

I highly recommend these to anyone with an interest in history or just a good story.
