Great Worldbuilding

Revisado: 04-19-22

I really liked this book. The premis was very original and believable. The narrator did a very good job, especially conxidering the grittiness of the stories. Jack is a wonderfully flawed individual which makes him so very human. I would recommend this group of novellas to anyone.

Great turn on an alternate holmsverse

Revisado: 12-24-21

Loved this book, narration was great. Thankful that Holmes wss given a less high pitched voice. I hope future novels will give Watson less doubts and more confidence in himt. Overall a great listen. Also really liked Count Dracula and Mina.

Excellent

Revisado: 11-13-21

Loved this book, reminded me of another acerbic wit, Alexia Tarrabotti. Though I am late to this series, I look forward to listening to Angele Masters expertly narrate Deanna Raybourns, continuation of Veronicas adventures with Stoker. I am a horticulturist and entomologist by education and a naturalist by lifelong hobby. This narrative appeals to all of those natures as well as a cracking good story.

Narrator is horrible.

Revisado: 07-13-20

I have loved this series, but this narrator makes listening almost unbearable. No change in tone or inflection between characters. Almost as if he was being forced to read aloud in a classroom. I purchased the next book in the series, hoping that the narrator would have improved. I could not get past the first chapter. I have exchanged it for a credit. Either bring back Napoleon. Or get someone who actually knows how to properly narrate rather than read by rote.

Outstanding

Revisado: 06-28-19

The surprise ending did sort of come as a shock, but listening again I was aware of the signs. As always this series continues to be unique, funny, serious and above all entertaining. Kobna Holbrook Smith is an outstanding narrator, I wish he could be used in other crime fiction, his range of accents and character definition is beyond compare.

Always a pleasure

Revisado: 06-02-19

The introduction of Lavender and Woods is interesting. I'm addition there is little of interest out there on the Bow Street Runners. I'm addition the book broached several topics, anti Catholic sentiment in England at the timr, the sheer squalor and poverty of the 99% of London, and of course the class system. An excellent pre Victorian novel.

Another winner

Revisado: 03-09-19

I have the entire series so far, but have a great fondness for this one. Characters are very believable as is the premise. If you have not read or listened to this series do so, you will not be disappointed.

Another great story from Tyler Dilts

Revisado: 02-14-17

Would you listen to Come Twilight again? Why?

I probably would not. Tyler is a great author but not a good narrator.

Who was your favorite character and why?

It is a toss up between Danny and Jen. They both bring unique perspective to the story, and Jen keeps Danny in line (sometimes)

Did Tyler Dilts do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

He did a bad job. Without the he said he said it would be impossible to differ between characters.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

All of Tyler's books make me both laugh and cry. However his inability to give each character detracted from that..

Any additional comments?

Please continue the series, but please bring back either of the other narrators.

Ford is Terrific

Another great book featuring Leo and the gang. Patrick Lawlor gives another great narration. Now if someone would get books 5 and 6 narrated by PL. I would be happy indeed.

The best in an amazing series.

Revisado: 03-13-15

What did you love best about The Soul of Discretion?

This book as with all of the ones in the series covers controversial topics, especially this one. I love the way Hill weaves story lines together. Even though these books are about Simon the DCS, they are also about his family, their lives including both good and bad happenings. In this particular book in the series many things come together, yet still leave much more to tell. It was by far the most intense of the series covering some very gruesome yet timely topics. I was enthralled and unable to set the book aside.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character is Simon closely followed by his sister Cat. They are so real and human. I like Simon because of his intensity, though I sometimes want to slap him. He is well balanced by Cat though his twin (triplet?), they could not be more different in many ways. They seem to complete and complement each other at the same time.

Have you listened to any of Steven Pacey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to all the books in this series, all narrated by Mr. Pacer. He is one of the best! I could listen to him all day. His ability to change character, his timing, his fluidity with the stories is amazing

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listened to this book over 2 days, but given the opportunity I would have done in one sitting. It is that good and very interesting.
