The only bad thing about it is that it’s the last one!

Revisado: 08-30-23

I love this series in every way
Smart, fun, funny!
Thrilling
Definitely diverting
I also like the point of you about politics in Great Britain and the parallel to politics here in the US
But mostly I like the book because it’s totally fun
The writings excellent
And the narration is excellent

Delightful

Revisado: 07-25-23

I had no idea Agatha Christie had a sprightly sense of humor. This was a diverting story and it was read well.
I took off one star because I didn’t think it was necessary to have a male narrator and a female narrator.
Very often a good narrator even if they don’t dramatize their voices can just read straight text and equal an excellent narration if the written material is good
But the female narrator was fine took a little bit to get used to at first but it was excellent overall
I really enjoyed the story it was caper-ish

Heartbreaking and wonderful

Revisado: 06-04-23

Well written tale woven intimately with the undercurrent of the many layers of feelings-conscious and unconscious-in family, life, love, nature and Nature.

This narration ruins excellent writing

Revisado: 03-30-23

I'm a fan of J. Winspear and read all her books. Ths narrator 'acts' too much and renders the characters blase and condescending, so unlike the wonderful characters Winspear crafts. The narrator ruins an excellent book.
The story is excellent.
The narration should be straightforward and not with peaks and inflections characterizing an actress/narrators's point of view or interpretation.
My interpretartion and mostly the author's is what I read for.
Still a fan, of course, of Jacqueling Winspear.

This is excellent via Audible - better than Kindle

Revisado: 10-31-22

I haven't finished the book yet, but am a total fan of R. Galbraith. Do not be concerned about some writer's comments about the reader reading the format - includes many character text messages. I purchased Kindle - IMPOSSIBLE to read due to terrible formattting and laptop - too clumsy to carry to bed :). I was put off by the comments here - but decided to try and it is - great!
No problem at all and I'm totally enjoying the journey of 'reading' this book. Don't hesitate if you enjoy the other Cormoran books - go ahead, you won't be sorry.

Book/Story/Character Fun / Narration Not Fun

Revisado: 09-29-22

I'm a Parker fan and have read and enjoyed all his Spenser books
Now reading Sonny Randall and enjoying the writing here as well.
The others I listened to were very good, this narrator, however,D. Ruffin, is not suited. She tries to be too histrionic and it takes away from Parker's terse prose.
It hurts the book and story.
It's as though she tries to put her own characterization into the characters rather than letting Parker's show through.
It's as though a writer uses multiple exclamation points after each sentence without reason.
Subsequent books have been read by Kate Burton and she is excellent.

Distracting narration and dramatization from the story by Jane Austen

Revisado: 09-03-21

Too much music and distracting histrionics
Hard to follow the simple story of this humorous Jane Austen novel. I prefer and suggest you just get a straight reading narration from Audible rather than this dramatized and truncated version

POOR NARRATION

Revisado: 03-25-21

THE FIRST VERA BOOK WAS WELL NARRATED. THIS ONE SOUNDS LIKE A KID TRYING TO SOUND LIKE A MAN AND THE VERA CHARACTERIZATION IS AS GRUFF AND UNFOCUSED AS MALE CHARACTERS. VERY ANNOYING. EXCRUCIATING ACTUALLY. I WILL CONTINUE READING THE BOOK. NARRATOR SOUNDS UNCOMFORTABLE READING FOR THE CHARACTERS. AWFUL!! BOOK ONE IS WELL NARRATED HOPING THREE IS A DIFF NARRATOR. CH

BEWARE STRANGE AND TOO LOUD MUSIC IN BETWEEN

Revisado: 01-30-21

I HAVE FINISHED THIS BOOK. I AM A FAN OF E. GEORGE AND THE LYNLEY SERIES. THIS IS MY 13TH W/ AUDIBLE AND KINDLE. WHILE I LIKE THE STORY, I WAS STARTLED MIGHTILY BY WEIRD LOUD CLANGING MUSIC THAT WENT ON TOOOO LONG IN BETWEEN CHAPTERS. . AS I AM ONLY ON CHAPTER TWO I HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN BETWEEN EACH CHAPTER.
THE 'MUSIC' AT THE START WAS TOO MUCH ALSO AND CLANGED INTO THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK'S NARRATION.
THIS OTHER INTERLUDE OF 'MUSIC' SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME, BREAKING MY EARDRUMS AS I STIRRED THE DINNER AND ENJOYED LISTENING TO THE NARRATOR WHO IS QUITE FINE. I THOUGHT THERE WAS WEIRD INTERFERENCE ON MY NETWORK.
BEWARE - FOR YOUR EARDRUMS! SERIOUSLY.
AUDIBLE SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS STUPID MUSIC IN BETWEEN AN OTHERWISE PROVEN AND GOOD AUTHOR'S WORK! IF I WANTED TO LISTEN TO MUSIC I WOULD DO SO. CH

UPDATE: WELL INTO THE BOOK - THE TOO LOUD/TOO LONG CLANGING UGLY MUSIC IS AT THE END OF EACH D--N CHAPTER AND BLEEDS INTO THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT CHAPTER. BE WARNED - IT IS EXTRA LOUD AND HORRIBLE. AUDIBLE: DO NOT ADD MUSIC OR 'MUSIC' TO YOUR LIBRARY OF BOOKS P L E A S E.
THE WRITING AND STORY ARE UP TO PAR W/E. GEORGE AND THE LYNLEY SERIES - SO EXCELLENT IN MY OPINION, MINUS THE EARRACHE. I SHALL COMPLETE THE BOOK.
**ALSO: IT'S ABRIDGED. IT IS MISSING IMPORTANT DETAILS IN THE PRINT VERSION. AVOID ABRIDGED STORIES. AUDIBLE SHOULD MAKE THIS MORE NOTICEABLE - THAT AND PADDING IT W/ LOUD CLANGING MUSIC = BAD NEWS.

Excellent all around

Revisado: 10-09-20

THIS IS A BOOK I AM SORRY TO FINISH.
I HAVE READ ALL OF FRENCH'S BOOKS AND ENJOYED THEM. THIS STORY WAS MORE EPANSIVE. IT TAKES PLACE MOSTLY I THE IRISH COUNTRYSIDE...DON'T WANT TO GIVE ANYTHING AWAY, ALTHO' THE CHARACTERS ARE NOT ALL IRISH. TWISTY GRAND STORY AND LOVELY WRITING. NARRATOR WAS FINE. HOPE YOU ENJOY IT. I'M A MYSTERY FAN, MOSTLY BRIT AND IRISH AND T. FRENCH'S WRITING MUSCLES ARE ABOVE SO MANY POPULAR AUTHORS OF THE GENRE. EXCELLENT.
