The poetry of the writing of the author. You could feel the atmosphere of the land and setting where this book was written.

I loved the story line of this book.
I grew up in a small town during the 1940s and 1950s and truly identified with this small town, isolated area place that is no longer found today in our lives today.
It made me homesick and nostalgic for times past.
Very well written and if you enjoyed a simple life, you will enjoy this beautiful book!

Love this light hearted mystery!

Revisado: 11-16-23

Enjoyed the novel approach to solving mysteries by Mac even though her methods were not understood by many.
By the end of the book, I was able to not only understand her methods, but believed in them.
I only wish they could have been real.
Having been married to a lawman, officer, for many years it would have been much easier to have that kind of ability or something similar..
Instead, everything was done the old fashioned way.
I truly enjoyed this book and it kept my attention throughout!

A Spell to Unbind

Revisado: 11-10-23

Enjoyed this book wholeheartedly except for the frequent use of profanity.
The characters were interesting,the mentioning of the Greek god’s unique,and it was action packed.
Would not recommend it for my younger readers but to those with less sensitive ears, it would be appropriate. The story is well thought out and the use of a dog with the power to freely give the gift of healing and extended life is appealing..
This is a critique from an 82 year grandmother who is pretty choosy about what she recommends,
so please make up your mind after reading the forward.

The Ghost of Marlow House

Revisado: 10-21-23

I enjoyed this audio book enough to look for another by the same author.
It was a free one sonI tried it as when these books are offered this way , you can almost always count on them being of excellent quality.
I enjoyed the tiny mystery of trying to find out who the “bad guys “ were, while keeping the ghost character going .
The book was done in good taste with a subtle attraction between the main character and Mr. Marlow.
I am looking forward to a possible sequel.

Murder on the rocks

Revisado: 10-13-23

Enjoyed “Murder on the rocks” very much!
Like the premise of the heroine being able to have extraordinary abilities without the story being being really being afar out sci-fi story.
Her abilities were not predictable so you could not plan on easy solutions.
Also enjoyed the historic inclusion of the 1930s underworld and the use of today’s computer age all in one setting.
This writer is multifaceted.
I appreciated her very much!

One eyed Jax

Revisado: 09-20-23

Loved this story!
Action packed from the beginning! Love the characters depicted in the story. Each one having an unique, and unusual characteristic that adds to the story line and the entertainment of the entire sequence of events.
By listening to this short story, I am more than tempted to find out what the next adventure’s Jax, Regis and the rest of the motley crew will get up to.
Even for an 82 year old Sci Fi lover from way back Salvatore has always been a favorite author.

Murder at Redwood Cove

Revisado: 09-12-23

This was an entertaining mystery that kept my attention during the entire Audiobook!
I really enjoyed the inclusion of all ages in the narration.
The older generation was depicted as on the ball, detectives in their own right, proactive in both figuring out the code the murdered first victim left behind but also protecting the child who was in danger and the investigator in the case.
I also liked the use of the children in the book. Keeping them special in uniquely different ways.
Using the poaching of the abalone was a twist as I personally had not even considered something like that as a crime.
There was quite a bit of serendipity in this book but it could have been true.
Again, this 82 year old lady from an independent living establishment enjoyed this book and would share it with her family.

The exiled Earthborn

Revisado: 04-24-23

I have really enjoyed the first two books of this trilogy and look forward to listening to the last one.
Jane not listened to this author before and enjoyed his thoughts on the many topics he addresses in the series.
He mentions terraforming, genetic engineering, mysticism, and other things that I do not remember now. He is multifaceted enough to keep things interesting all through the book.

Postmortem, the mystery!

Revisado: 04-14-23

I really enjoyed this audio book!
Will listen to it again at a later date,to hear what I missed, as I listened to it straight through!
Yes, there is quite a lot of descriptive violence in it, most no worse than what is on television for our children
and teens as well as the general public to see
Since I worked in a hospital since I was 15 and was married to a policeman for over 24 years the medical information was excellent!
If one is interested in an old fashioned mystery with few story holes and a good story, I would recommend you checking out this great audiobook!

Heirs of the Body

Revisado: 03-13-23

Totally enjoyed the accent of the narrator!
Her voice added to the quality of the story.
For those who do not understand accents or have problems with accents, there could be a problem. But an English story placed in old England really needs that kind of an accent!
I love these stories as although they are sort of formula but always delightful in their approach to the mystery and the solving of the problems to get to the bad guys.
Each character is fully filled out so that they become friends or friendamies as the case may be.
I can certainly pass these books on to my girl friends and grandchildren.
No profanity or graphic sexual content.
Love the author!
