Spoiled by the poor narration

Revisado: 03-05-23

In addition to the low quaff the narrator, there are background noises in the recording. This is definitely amateur hour!

Richard Osman must keep writing!

Revisado: 10-08-22

The start of third book in the series was slightly marred for me by the change of narrator. After an hour or so I no longer noticed. The same cast of characters return and are joined by some new heroes and villains.

The Thursday Murder Club books are just wonderful.

Lighthearted, warm & intriguing

Revisado: 08-24-21

Richard Osman’s first novel is wonderful. A interesting assortment of characters and backstories make up the heroes and villains of this book. Plenty of plot twists and turns, but what makes it so special is the warmth & humor of the writing. This is certain to be a successful TV series soon.

Strong storyline

Revisado: 08-12-21

No Peace Beyond the Line is an enjoyable addition to the Ring of Fire series. It’s centered in the Caribbean and mixes politics, naval warfare & interpersonal story lines.

Very different & very good

Revisado: 05-27-21

This is the best book I have listened to in years. It’s unusual, both style & content. It’s hard to describe: it’s not really science fiction, although it’s set in a slightly dystopian future, nor a love story, although that’s part of it. Give it a try.

Not vital to the series

Revisado: 07-22-20

This book is strong on exposition, weak on plot. Lots of economics, little action. I read it out of sequence (due to the negative reviews), and would encourage the casual Ring of Fire reader to give it a miss.

Downing's clunker

Revisado: 05-20-17

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

The story line stretches credulity, and the characters are tired.

Would you ever listen to anything by David Downing again?

I enjoyed the 'Station' series, and have listened to the two previous books in this series. This is the weakest.

Not the best in the series

Revisado: 04-16-17

What did you like best about Prussian Blue? What did you like least?

It's another in the Bernie Gunther series by Philip Kerr. The characters are well established. It mixes two stories, one set in 1939 and the other in 1956. Prussian Blue isn't as strong or compelling as some of the earlier books in the series.

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

John Lee does a good job with the material.

A classic page turner

Revisado: 01-22-17

Clavell's novels are long and engrossing. This recording has a few small technical issues - the ends of many sentences fade out. Overall, excellent narration with good differentiation between the characters voices.

Disappointing

Revisado: 06-12-16

My Audible library contains every Alan Furst book. This is the weakest. If you're new to Furst, start with The Polish Officer.
