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.

started listening to this by accident - weird considering the title! - and find myself captivated by DC. Can't wait to listen to the rest of the series. And it's free!

In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump and many around him, including certain other elected Republican officials, intentionally breached their oath to the Constitution: they ignored the rulings of dozens of courts, plotted to overturn a lawful election, and provoked a violent attack on our Capitol.

Liz Cheney's brutal take down of lily-livered weasel Kevin McCarthy is a great listen. While I could never agree with Ms Cheney's political positions, she would get my vote any day for her integrity.

As England prepares to fight the Nazis, three very different women answer the call to mysterious country estate Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes. Vivacious debutante Osla is the girl who has everything - beauty, wealth, and the dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses - but she burns to prove herself as more than a society girl, and puts her fluent German to use as a translator of decoded enemy secrets.

Praised by Bear Grylls, Levison Wood has been called "the toughest man on TV" ( The Times UK). Now, following in the footsteps of the great explorers, Levison recounts the beauty and danger he found along the Silk Road route of Afghanistan, the Line of Control between Pakistan and India, the disputed territories of Kashmir, and the earthquake-ravaged lands of Nepal. Over the course of six months, Wood and his trusted guides trekked 1,700 grueling miles across the roof of the world.

Lev is engaging and entertaining, telling the story of his epic journey in a very personal style. The story focuses on the people Lev meets and their relationship to the unique landscapes they inhabit, as they help him survive (literally) to tell the tale.

A joy to listen to one of my all time favorites
Revisado: 12-10-12
If you could sum up Dune in three words, what would they be?
masterpiece of world-building
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jessica is my favorite because of her faith and love for Leto and Paul - though she is overtaken by the enormity of what she created.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The different voices really bring the characters to life.(Though it would have even been better if they had dropped all the "he said", "she answered" etc. from the reading and just spoken the dialog uninterrupted).
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No - I know it too well for that

The Return of the King is the towering climax to J. R. R. Tolkien’s trilogy that tells the saga of the hobbits of Middle-earth and the great War of the Rings. In this concluding volume, Frodo and Sam make a terrible journey to the heart of the Land of the Shadow in a final reckoning with the power of Sauron. In addition to narrating the prose passages, Rob Inglis sings the trilogy’s songs and poems a capella, using melodies composed by Inglis and Claudia Howard, the Recorded Books studio director.

Revisado: 11-24-12
What did you love best about The Return of the King?
Can I say everything? That the book is a true classic goes without saying, and this superb audio performance brings the story to life.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Return of the King?
The climax at the Cracks of Doom. Even though you know the story, the drama of whether Frodo and Sam will succeed in the quest has you on the edge of your seat.
What about Rob Inglis’s performance did you like?
The range of Rob's vocalisation brings something unique to each character.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
I wouldn't make a film... Peter Jackson's effort is too good to follow!
