Hamish Macbeth, the laid-back constable of Lochdubh, Scotland, has a new Land Rover to drive and a Highland summer to savor, but as fast as rain rolls in from the loch, his happy life goes to hell in a hand basket. The trouble begins when his beloved Priscilla Halburton-Smythe returns from London - with a fiancé on her arm. His miseries multiply when clouds of midges, the diabolical Scottish mosquito, descend on the town. Then a paragon of housewifery named Trixie Thomas moves into Lochdubh with her lapdog husband in tow.

If Lord Ickenham had not succumbed to the temptation to dislodge the hat of Beefy Bastable, the irascible QC, with a well-aimed Brazil nut, the latter's famous legal mind might never have been stimulated to literature. But the incident provoked Beefy to write his exposé of the younger generation, a novel so shocking that it caused endless repercussions for its hapless author, and sparked off a whole series of outrageous misunderstandings that it would take the inventive talents of Lord Ickenham himself to resolve.

My Favorite Favorite
Revisado: 08-29-18
As much as I love Jeeves and Wooster, it's the Blandings Castle stories that make me laugh the longest and loudest. And when those stories include Uncle Fred I know my journey from start to finish will be a good one. Cocktail Time is my favorite favorite. It doesn't matter if I'm reading a bound copy or listening to the audio version; it is time well spent.

I devoured the Lord Peter Wimsey books back in the 1970's. Though worn & tattered from decades of reading & rereading, they are a prized part of my library. But I would dump them in a minute if I could replace them with audio versions read by Ian Carmichael. I took great delight in the television adaptations he was able to create & sighed along with his wistful article in MURDER INK about the struggle just to get 5 of the books produced by the BBC. Please tell me there are more unabridged Lord Peter books narrated by this wonderful actor.

A dog-shaped gunpowder mark; an omen from "the other side"; a haunted house; a chilling séance; a case of split personalities; a recurring nightmare; an eerie wireless message; an elderly lady's hold over a young man; a mysterious SOS - unexplained phenomena with no apparent earthly explanation. To discover the answers, delve into the supernatural with Agatha Christie in these short stories.

A Collection to listen to time & again
Revisado: 01-26-12
WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION was my favorite story in this collection and just remembering all those old Hammer horror films added a whole other level of "spooky" to Christopher Lee's narration. When it comes to Christie's short story collections, I like THE MYSTERIOUS MR. QUINN a bit more, but THE HOUND OF DEATH is still pretty high on my list of favorites.

The one thing that could be expected to disturb the peace of life at Blandings is the incursion of imposters. Blandings has imposters like other houses have mice. On this occasion there are two of them--both intent on a dangerous enterprise.

So That's Where "Upstairs, Downstairs" Came From!
Revisado: 01-26-12
Having either read or listened to a number of the Blandings Castle stories, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Lord Emsworth and his looney family. I guess this book was probably written early in the series, before Freddie's marriage and the introduction of "The Empress". Although it contains many of the same plot elements of other Blandings sagas, there is a lot more action "below stairs" in this one which really does make it SOMETHING FRESH.

A Hard Story to Set Aside
Revisado: 01-26-12
I discovered Ellis Peters through the Cadfael series and enjoyed those books so much I thought I'd give Inspector Felse a try. I was not disappointed. I started listening to this while doing needlework, but I got so interested in the plot, I had to set my handwork aside so I could devote my full attention to the story. With all the twists and turns, it held my attention to the very end. This is one of those stories I will listen to again in the future and I will certainly buy more of Peters' work.
Simon Prebble has been on my list of favorite narrators for a long time. His work here is excellent.

Put Cleopatra, Teddy Roosevelt, Thomas Paine, and Father Thomas Aquinas in a room together and what do you get? Steve Allen's Meeting of Minds, of course. In this first volume, Allen plays host to President Roosevelt's brash style (as played by Joseph Earley), Cleopatra's haughty authority (Jayne Meadows), Father Aquinas's intellectual rigor (Peter Bromilow), and the never-met-a-government-he-liked spirit of Thomas Paine (Joe Sirola).

The Art of Intelligent Discourse
Revisado: 07-14-11
This show was "must see TV" in my household back in the day. Now when we're surrounded by tweets, unending, unedited blogs, and YouTube videos, it is so nice to plug into really intelligent discussion and conversation once again. I purchased all the volumes audible has available and I'll end here by holding up my iPod & saying, "Please, sir, I want some more."

No, the "Moonstone" isn't a celestial relic, it's a gigantic yellow diamond of unearthly beauty that was given to Rachel Verinder as a present on her 18th birthday - and stolen that very night! Betteredge, one of the most beloved butlers in English literature, is the focus of this seminal detective novel, which examines how one family's life is turned upside-down by the theft. And find out why the answers to all of life's problems can be found in the pages of Robinson Crusoe.

This is a book I have read and reread over the years and I had high hopes for the audio version. Those high hopes were all realized. What an excellent version! The multiple readers were superb and really brought the characters to life. Of all the different audio versions of The Moonstone, I'm glad I purchased this one. I recommend it to anyone who is a Wilkie Collins fan and to anyone who enjoyed the multiple reader version of The Woman in White.

Galahad Threepwood is causing scandal again...this time by deciding to NOT publish his potentially humiliating high-society memoirs. His decision causes rifts in the ranks at castle Blandings and all involved split into three camps: those who want the book suppressed, those who want it published, and those, who for some reason or another, that have been sent to steal it.

Revisado: 04-13-11
This is the next chapter, so to speak, in the saga of the Hon. Gallahad's memoirs and follows SUMMER LIGHTNING. It is a wonderful romp, in true Wodehouse fashion. One I know I will be listening to again and again.

Witty Wodehouses�s best-loved creation is the master-servant team of Bertie Wooster, the charming nitwit, and Jeeves, his effortlessly superior valet and protector. Newsweek says "they are at their best in The Code of the Woosters." Newsweek says "they are at their best in The Code of the Woosters."

I loved this story when I saw the Stephen Fry/Hugh Laurie version. Listening to the whole book is even better. I've found that P.G. Wodehouse stories are wonderful companions on car trips. The miles seem to go by much faster when you're laughing.
