Confusion

Revisado: 03-15-24

Without the framework of a book many details were lost. A brief introduction of who the characters were when we first heard them would be nice. We get hints but it could be better written. Why did Christie write this story? In what context was it to be presented? Those things would help.

Lovely, classic Christie

Revisado: 03-13-24

A bit of confusion, because I believe Griselda is Miss Marple’s actual niece in a later book.

Not in love with the narrator, but only because I’m spoiled by Hugh Fraser and Emilia Fox as my favorite Christie voices.

Amazingly entertaining!

Revisado: 10-13-23

Bring a fan of Wil Wheaton made this an easy choice, but I had no idea what a talented audiobook reader he could be. He certainly knows how to put personality and joy, yes, joy into the words. The story is clever and I will be adding Scalzi to my authors-to-read (or at least listen to) list.

Try it, you’ll like it.

Wonderful premise

Revisado: 10-24-22

This is an intriguing beginning to a series (3 books as of now) which I tried mainly because of the narrator. Glad I did. It’s interesting, different and a good read. Hope there will be more than just the three there are so far.

Unexpected

Revisado: 10-24-22

I had no idea what this book was about when I began it, and I’m glad. This is a story that needs to be experienced to be appreciated. Extremely unique. Bravo!

Not a typical Dick Francis

Revisado: 11-14-16

The story is from 1977, but still reads well. Characters, as usual, are well written. I have seen others complain when Francis books aren't primarily about horses. Crazy people. I have learned about glass blowing, painting, photography and other really interesting things. This book is about a really interesting accountant, which may be a contradiction in terms. (FYI - I also could be called an accountant.) I can't say what the story lacked but it is not going to be a memorable Dick Francis for me.

Best narrator

Revisado: 10-23-16

Best narrator -- he should do all the Francis' books. He has a beautiful voice and storytelling ability.

Vintage Francis -- again

Revisado: 10-09-16

So wonderful to hear that Felix has learned his storytelling craft so well from his parents. I have loved Dick's books for years, and I look forward to enjoying Felix's in years to come. Felix is an excellent story teller, and we are all blessed to have his stories to enjoy.

Accent changed ...

Revisado: 10-03-16

Sometime in the last few books the narrator gave up giving Jessica any kind of Maine accent. Angela Lansbury never used much of one, but this narrator started out using one. I sort of miss it as it made the books unique to listen to.

One oops

Revisado: 10-02-16

I've been listening to quite a few of these books in a row. In a recent book Jessica called Sheriff Metzger Mortimer throughout the book. As this became a kind of 'code' in this one it is disappointing. Different real authors writing these? Or at least a copy editor who doesn't know the series.
