Ever since she drove her best friend's fiance to kill himself, Isabel Drew has been nicknamed Jezebel. She is domineering, arrogant, vain - and beautiful enough to get away with it. She is starring as a princess in a medieval pageant when her past catches up to her. On tiny slips of paper, threats appear, promising death to Isabel and those around her. Fearing she may be attacked, she invites the brilliant Inspector Cockrill to keep her safe after the performance.

This is fine
Revisado: 05-20-24
A perfectly nice locked room mystery, with a couple interesting twists. As an audiobook, it doesn’t work as well - there’s so much about the geography of the room, you almost have to diagram it - but the reader does a good job with the characters. Odd that the detective barely seems to do any detecting, just floats along the story and comments on how dumb people are.

Riverside Close is a picture-perfect community. The six exclusive and attractive houses are tucked far away from the noise and grime of city life, allowing the residents to enjoy beautiful gardens, pleasant birdsong, and tranquility from behind the security of a locked gate. It is the perfect idyll, until the Kentworthy family arrives, with their four giant, gas-guzzling cars, gaggle of shrieking children, and plans for a garish swimming pool in the backyard. Obvious outsiders, the Kentworthys do not belong in Riverside Close, and quickly offend every last one of the neighbors.

Great reading, very good story
Revisado: 04-26-24
Rory Kinnear nails the vibe of these stories. This was one of Horowitz’s least challenging murder mysteries to guess, but the reader did an outstanding job of bringing the characters of the Close to life and showing us that the story was, and always is, about Hawthorne’s world. The rest of us live and die in it.

Across the country women are being murdered by a killer who leaves no evidence, no fatal wounds, no signs of struggle, and no clues to a motive. They are, truly, perfect crimes. In fact, the only thing that links the victims is the man they all knew: Jack Reacher.

Way too predictable
Revisado: 12-14-22
More than most books of this genre, I felt like I figured out the twists very early and was only waiting to see how the characters figured it out. When it took them another 5 hours of listening time to do so, I was worn out by the end.

How do you spot an area poised for gentrification? Is spring or winter the best time to put your house on the market? Will a house on Swamp Road sell for less than one on Gingerbread Lane? The fact is that the rules of real estate have changed drastically over the past five years. To understand real estate in our fast-paced, technology-driven world, we need to toss out all of the outdated truisms and embrace today's brand new information. But how?

Workaday but somewhat insightful
Revisado: 02-28-15
Some may say these authors should have hired a professional audiobook reader. I actually think their halting, monotone performance helps the listener notice when their supposedly data-driven model confuses correlation with causation. It also helps a reader hear when their voices are conveying pat progressive dogma as if it is fact, rather than letting their data do the talking and avoiding the policymaking. This book was a mixed bag, in that it does crystallize several very important housing concepts in a concise and persuasive way. A seller, and to a lesser extent a buyer, should be familiar with these, and this book is as good way as any to get them. But steer clear of the half-baked Freakanomics and political impulses underlying some of their more edgy theories. Back to the data, boys.
