Hard-drinking, hard-living poker players and prostitutes of the new boom towns; wives and mothers traveling two and a half thousand miles across the prairies in covered-wagon convoys, some of them so poor they walked the entire route; African-American women in search of freedom from slavery; Chinese sex-workers sold openly on the docks of San Francisco; Native American women brutally displaced by the unstoppable tide of white settlers–these were the women who settled the American West, whose stories until now have remained mostly untold.

Wonderful book intolerable narrator
Revisado: 01-14-23
The sample preface was read by the author and she was great but when I got the book it was actually narrated by a woman whose whiny high pitched and unpleasant voice made me cringe. I had to return the book and buy the hard copy which was amazing. We’ll written and researched. It was a real joy!
Probably the choice was made to have a narrator without an English accent but there are so many great American actors out there. This choice was disastrous!

Revisado: 09-13-22
At last the fabulous Lisette Returns to enliven these amazing characters with her remarkable talent. Her voice gives meaning and nuance to the series and there is no one like her! It’s a wonderful series and Lisette makes it even more engaging and charming.

Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni attends a course hosted by the local chamber of commerce entitled “Where Is Your Business Going?”. But rather than feeling energized, he comes back in low spirits, unsure how to grow the already venerable and successful Tlokweng Road Speedy Motors. Then an old friend from school approaches him about a new business venture that could be just the ticket. When it turns out he will need to mortgage his property in order to pursue this endeavor, Mma Ramotswe and Mma Makutsi wonder what this will mean for his current business - as well as their own.

Great new narrator
Revisado: 11-29-21
I loved listening to this series until that horrible new narrator on How to Raise an Elephant
. I returned that book after only a few pages in because of her.Now I’m thrilled with the new narrator.. If we can’t have Lisette Lecat then Bianca Amato is the next best thing.She’s wonderful and ensures that this series is still a joy to hear!

Unsatisfying
Revisado: 03-07-21
Not great. The female characters are either nasty and over sensitive or stupid and silly. The story is predictable and the male hero is rather shallow. The narrator made the unlikeable female protagonist even more objectionable by hi snippy delivery of her dialogue. Very disappointing.

Loved all her other books. Not this one! Too slow and boring taking too long to get to the point. Unlikeable main characters. Very disappointing . A depressing read.

This slipped into the horror genre with too much detail and psychosis. Great performance but not up to the earlier work I devoured with enthusiasm. This was a bit of a slog.

James Dommek, Jr., an Alaska Native writer and musician, sheds new light on a real-life mystery that pits Native American folklore against the US justice system. In the vast Alaskan Arctic, legend has it there once lived a mythic tribe—Iñukuns—that only existed in rumors and whispers. This changed forever when an actor-turned-fugitive, Teddy Kyle Smith, had an encounter that brought Iñukuns from myth to reality. Smith was an aspiring actor with a promising career until it all came quickly crashing down with a gunshot, a manhunt, bloodshed, and other frightful events.

Performance ruined this
Revisado: 09-19-19
The story is great but the performance is so lackluster and just plain awful that I had to stop listening at chapter three. I just
couldn't bear her delivery. I did listen to a sample and thought it was just ok but bearable but on further listening it didn't work. I'm intrigued by the story and the writing is fine but an awful listen.Wish I hadn't spent the credit.

Jean McConville's abduction was one of the most notorious episodes of the vicious conflict known as The Troubles. Everyone in the neighborhood knew the I.R.A. was responsible. But in a climate of fear and paranoia, no one would speak of it. In 2003, five years after an accord brought an uneasy peace to Northern Ireland, a set of human bones was discovered on a beach. McConville's children knew it was their mother when they were told a blue safety pin was attached to the dress--with so many kids, she had always kept it handy for diapers or ripped clothes.
