best narrator-- best writer
Revisado: 04-06-25
Peter coates is one of my favorite audible narrators- this is the third of his collections I have bought-- if you love a book --you want Peter Coates to read it- he understands the characters- brings out the humor and beauty and meaning of the writing- there are only five narrators on audible I can say that about-- I am sick of narrators who put their performance before the book--if Peter Coates reads- gaudy night, have his carcasev and nine tailors--I will totally buy them

one of the few narrators for mmkaye I can stand
Revisado: 10-07-24
I love all the death in books--- they are both literary and cultural events that everyone should read ---they are ---as written ---romantic exciting historically and culturally fascinating--the better a book is the more I object to narrators making them unlistenable-like all of them are ---except for this one and death in Berlin--if I were the heirs I would ask for the rest to be redone--because this is costing you a lot of money-- I hope you use this narrator for the rest-- I would buy them all

Adam Deveril, the new Viscount Lynton and a hero at Salamanca, returns from the Peninsula War to find his family on the brink of ruin and the broad acres of his ancestral home mortgaged to the hilt.

best narrator for Meyer readers
Revisado: 09-20-24
I have been reading reviews by heyer readers who object to actors offering a bunch of noise that bears little relation to the books we read and loved--- no problem with that here- this narrator gets everything right- tone character-humor-the chemistry between characters- is really incredibly conveyed- if Dominic Thorburn- had done the narration on other penguin-heyer recordings- I would have bought them all-- this not one of my favorite Meyer novels- even- though Adam deveril is such a great romantic hero--but to listen to an audiobook where I am not outraged every 5 minutes by a narrator chopping a favorite book to pieces is so delightful- I do not have words

Historia
The story opens with the apparently accidental drowning of a sixth form student in the Norfolk countryside. As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

Kenneth Branagh is the best
Revisado: 08-21-24
these are wonderful exciting fantasy adventure classics - the problem with really really loving a wonderful book is how one feels when a bad narrator hacks it to bits- no fear of that here- with that incredible and unparalleled understanding of literature and character you soon hear no narrator only the story- you are in it --it was just as if I were reading it- no higher compliment can be paid- these are not only great actors but great narrators --submitting themselves to the work instead of using it to show off- maybe they could get Kenneth Branagh to do the lord Peter whimsy books =--I would totally buy them if he did them

Revisado: 08-18-24
Dick Francis is one of the best mystery-thriller writers of all time- one of the best writers period- a mystery about the theft of thoroughbred studs-it is exciting original sexy romantic- like all Francis novels it is also about how to live a meaningful life in the face of pain fear loss depression and the actions of mans inhumanity to man- timeless- Geoffrey Howard is the best Francis narrator- when he talks it feels the way I felt when I first read it-i am so sick of narrators like Tony Britton doing cartoon versions of these perfect books- this one is the real deal

best book on PTSD
Revisado: 08-11-24
dick Francis is one of the beat mystery thriller writers of all time- it was the first book on PTSD I ever read what creates it- what its like-how to respond to it in a useful way-sadly if you only hear Tony Brittons histrionic Saturday morning cartoon version of a Francis novel-you wont get even ten percent of the impact of this story- if you want the profound spine tingling soul changing exciting experience of a Francis novel -you will have to read the book- you wont get it from Tony Britton

Jennifer Cruisie doesn't write sexy funny romances- she writes social commentary novels that are so sexy and funny and romantic that everyone wants to read no matter what they are about- eat your heart out Upton Sinclair-this series is no exception- I was looking forward to a challenging month so I bought all 3 to almost 30 hours of optimistic-- company
