A Thoughtful History of Resistance

Revisado: 04-08-25

I appreciate the research the author undertook to present this historical fiction of the life during WWII in Paris and Lisbon. A gripping story.

A Gripping Murder Mystery

Revisado: 03-11-25

Peter Swanson never disappoints- I’ve read/listened to several and he can be relied on to write a novel that immediately catches my attention and immediately has me hooked.

A Very Long Winding Story

Revisado: 07-24-24

The reader was great, this novel meandered over a variety of subject plots- none captivating. The plot got lost in the weeds. I just couldn’t get sufficiently interested in what was happening so I kept skipping ahead.

Heartfelt Family Love Story

Revisado: 06-14-24

The readers were very good and put me into the country of Ireland. I enjoyed the love the families had for each other, Jack’s father-in-law, the cousins of young Rebecca, the kindness they exuded. A search for connection and a good read.

Builds To a Great (Almost Locked Room) Mystery

Revisado: 07-19-23

Slow start, took me awhile to get the characters in my head then I was hooked. I had a bit of trouble with the time sequences at the wrap-up- seemed that a lot of activity took place in what seemed like a short time period. I had to just go with the flow that time was expanding and contracting in a way I was not picturing when I was hearing the narrative. I was not able to guess the ending but I was suspecting an almost Murder on the Orient Express solution.

Rooting for the Killer

Revisado: 07-06-23

Who hasn’t at some time wished a mean, cruel, sadistic, person whose path intersected our own or someone we care about or someone whose cruelty was inflicted on a person or creature who couldn’t defend itself, could be zapped out of existence? The satisfaction experienced when Ruby rids the world of a few such creatures soars and knowing Ruby is a kind, tender-hearted person smoothes and softens the readers vicarious experience of the events. When Ruby is charged with the death of her beloved husband whom she did not harm I was wanting her to be exonerated but wondering how it could happen. A great ingenious plot and wonderful characters, had me held rapt. Great twists right at the end too- I highly recommend!

An Intriguing Story of Families

Revisado: 02-09-23

I found the story somewhat hard to follow at first, listening to the setting and relationships of the characters I was confused as to who was who- in a printed copy I would flip back to the front pages. The story was slow for me until I got deeper into it then my interest was sparked. A great detective story and deep relationships kept me turning pages.

Another Enjoyable Adventure with Tony and Hawthorne

Revisado: 01-04-23

I look forward to each Anthony Horowitz novel with anticipation of a well plotted yarn of detection, rousing exchanges between Tony and Hawthorne, humor, and insightful peeks into the world of a writer! The reader was a pleasure to listen to- he nails the personalities of the characters.

Even Better with Smith’s Narration

Revisado: 03-17-22

I have read this novel twice- I love it but decided to treat myself to someone reading it to me and the narrative voice of Count Rostov was just the voice I heard in my head when reading the novel. Thank you for hours of escapist pleasure! Nicholas Guy Smith gave the count life!

Terrible Reader Completely Ruined the Experience

Revisado: 11-05-21

The reader on this audiobook was absolutely awful- I know the story, and even though I was looking forward to hearing it I had to end it after about 5 minutes. The reader limped through the lines as though he was reading text for the first time, reading word for word, minimal expression, stumbling over longer words, halting delivery and dead space while I guess he was trying to pronounce a word. I have never before heard such a dismal delivery of an audible book.
