Witty & Utterly Charming
Revisado: 11-27-24
The second Anty B. Book is even more enjoyable than the first. Several, “LOL” moments and a delightful addition to the stories I’ll revisit annually during the Winter holidays. Listen or read closely so to savor the beautifully constructed, often hilarious and always intelligent prose.

Fun Mystery; Outstanding Characters
Revisado: 10-22-24
What a great idea to have 70-somethings as the main characters, hero’s and heroines. ❤️ Can’t wait for the movie. Can’t wait for the next book.
Leslie Manville was perfect.

Madison’s twin stepkids are moving in with her family, and she wants Lillian to be their caretaker. However, there’s a catch: The twins spontaneously combust when they get agitated, flames igniting from their skin in a startling but beautiful way.

Historia
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes tales are rightly ranked among the seminal works of mystery and detective fiction. Included in this collection are all four full-length Holmes novels and more than forty short masterpieces - from the inaugural adventure A Study in Scarlet to timeless favorites like “The Speckled Band” and more. At the center of each stands the iconic figure of Holmes - brilliant, eccentric, and capable of amazing feats of deductive reasoning.

I wasn’t sure about the narration, but in the end I think it was spot-on. Exactly as I imagine Lord Wimsey would sound. Charming character, unexpectedly funny! Listen for his smart, often politely snarky thoughts and comebacks. I wish there were more Lord Wimsey! And, a new TV series!

Historia
Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair’s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country’s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds.

Terribly Interesting
Revisado: 06-21-24
Great narration. I was turned onto the book from a true crime podcast, but found the story of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair and the architects the most interesting and compelling part of the book. The HH Holmes story is woven throughout quite ingeniously.

Trite Story. Narrator’s Voices Hard to Listen To
Revisado: 01-05-24
Ugh. Maybe it’s personal preference, but the narrator’s voices- especially the male voices were terribly hard to listen to. Pretty awful, IMO. Story only mildly interesting.
