Repetitive but generally uplifting
Revisado: 03-30-22
I have never watched any of her shows, and I was recommended this book by a friend who thought it would cheer me up. Some might find her tone arrogant but I liked her infectious enthusiasm. Many of her experiences resonated with me and I teared up at times. You do have to skip ahead when she starts to take too long to tell the story.

Are you too nice? If you find it hard to be assertive, directly ask for what you want, or say "no" to others, then you just might be suffering from too much niceness. In this controversial book, world-renowned confidence expert, Dr. Aziz Gazipura, takes an incisive look at the concept of nice. Through his typical style, Dr. Aziz uses engaging stories, humor, and disarming vulnerability to cut through the nice conditioning and liberate the most bold, expressive, authentic version of you.

Enough about his dating adventures already
Revisado: 07-18-21
The author makes some good points but one has to sit through overly detailed descriptions of his personal life, especially his dating adventures. Too long, too much irrelevant personal detail, sometimes even too smug. There are better self improvement books out there.

Great acting, wobbly stories
Revisado: 02-22-21
Mark Tavener is no Agatha Christie. The murder mystery parts of these stories are rather week and he doesn’t do enough in terms of dropping bits of evidence / hints that might help the reader to guess at the perpetrators. Instead all is reviewed at the end with a Big Bang.
On the other hand I really enjoyed the characterisation of office politics and have learnt a thing or two about navigating the corridors of power.
Absolutely top-rate voice acting but that’s to be expected given the famous names on the slate.

As instructed, stenographer Sheila Webb let herself into the house at 19 Wilbraham Crescent. It was then that she made a grisly discovery: the body of a dead man sprawled across the living-room floor. What intrigued Poirot about the case was the time factor. Although in a state of shock, Sheila clearly remembered having heard a cuckoo clock strike 3.00. Yet, the four other clocks in the living room all showed the time as 4.13. Even more strange: only one of these clocks belonged to the owner of the house.

Not one of her best
Revisado: 01-08-21
Started promisingly but the deduction was forced and relied too much on deus ex machina.

I love Christie but this has to be the most boring of all the stories I’ve listened to to date on Audible. Could not get through it. Only good as background noise even with Hugh Fraser’s unimpeachable voice acting.

Inspector Rudge does not encounter many cases of murder in the sleepy seaside town of Whynmouth. But when an old sailor lands a rowing boat containing a fresh corpse with a stab wound to the chest, the Inspector's investigation immediately comes up against several obstacles. The vicar, whose boat the body was found in, is clearly withholding information, and the victim's niece has disappeared. There is clearly more to this case than meets the eye - even the identity of the victim is called into doubt.

The whole is less than the sum of the parts
Revisado: 03-27-20
The combined illustriousness of the authors and the lovely voice acting do not make up for the meandering, patchy nature of this story. I gave up halfway.
Attempt only if you need something to put you to sleep.

Saddest Poirot story ever

Trigger warning if you don’t like stories about deeply dysfunctional families. I cried at the ending.

Without giving anything away, suffice to say that this was a draggy, poorly written mish mash of various Poirot stories. And the dialogue had the audacity to refer to the plot which this story plagrised!!! Could see the solution miles away.
Only the beautiful voice acting of John Moffatt saved the day.
