Great Story

Revisado: 04-19-19

I loved this story, but as another person said, it felt unfinished. It took me 10 chapters to like the narrator. It sounded like a thirteen year old girl for most of the female readings so it was difficult to distinguish between female characters. Also, because the voice didn't change, you had to be on the ball when there was a time change. But the story itself and characters were fantastic.

Delightful bunch of characters. The presentation was very good. Only thing was sometimes too much and too loud music.

If you could sum up The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter in three words, what would they be?

Enjoyable, engrossing, lightweight

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It's not really an edge-of-your-seat book. I was engrossed in finding out what they were going to do next.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me smile and laugh

Any additional comments?

Haven't seen whether the author has any similar books, but will check out.

Thoroughly Enjoyable read.

This is one of the best in the series. It was such a fun surprise to have a story about Mrs. Hudson's past and her long-standing relationship with Sherlock. Certainly gave a different view of Sherlock himself.

Too Much Drawl

Revisado: 04-11-18

I had a hard time listening to Kate Harper's voice when she was in Temperances voice. It doesn't fit into my image of Temp's voice. I did enjoy the story overall, though

By me too much police procedure.

I thought Hilda Fay's reading was one of the best. She absolutely nabbed Antoinette. In the end I enjoyed the story, but not in between. The animosity between Antoinette and her coworkers got annoying after a while. Maybe there had to be that much devoted to it in order to make the story work in the end, but for me, it was annoying.

Best of the series

Revisado: 10-27-17

I absolutely loved this book. To me it was the best of the series (although I loved most of them).

I can't wait for the next one.

Just OK

Revisado: 04-12-17

Would you try another book from Deborah Crombie and/or Jenny Sterlin?

I like Deborah Crombie books and would read another. I did not like Jenny Sterlin's narration. Although her voice is pleasant, there was not enough differentiation between the characters' voices

Would you recommend Dreaming of the Bones to your friends? Why or why not?

No. I found the characters very hard to have any feeling for, except for Duncan and Gemma. Much later in the book, I started to have more feeling for them.

Do you think Dreaming of the Bones needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Certainly follow up on Duncan's progression with his child. The rest of the story seems to have a suitable end.

Great story

Revisado: 12-13-15

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Sort of. The story was great,

Who was your favorite character and why?

I found Guido quite an interesting character, good qualities, bad qualities...

How could the performance have been better?

This is the part I had the most trouble with. It was difficult for me to listen to an Italian without the Italian accent and intonations that go along with the thoughts. Otherwise, the narrator's performance was excellent (had it been a British or American novel).

Fantastic story and great narration

Revisado: 12-11-14

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it is a great mystery with characters that one wants to know. They are interesting and the dialog never wanes.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, lots of layers.

What about Ralph Cosham’s performance did you like?

Don't know what to say here, his narration is perfect and I think of him as Inspector Gamache.
