It's the following Thursday. Elizabeth has received a letter from an old colleague, a man with whom she has a long history. He's made a big mistake, and he needs her help. His story involves stolen diamonds, a violent mobster and a very real threat to his life. As bodies start piling up, Elizabeth enlists Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron in the hunt for a ruthless murderer. And if they find the diamonds, too? Well, wouldn't that be a bonus? But this time, they are up against an enemy who wouldn't bat an eyelid at knocking off four septuagenarians.

All Round Fabulous

I simply adored this book. The quirky, very human characters were totally 3 dimensional and hugely believable, and most of all, so much fun! The narration is unparalleled.
I wish I could rate it higher.

On a warm July evening in 1985, a middle-aged man stood on the pavement of a busy avenue in the heart of Moscow, holding a plastic carrier bag. In his grey suit and tie, he looked like any other Soviet citizen. The bag alone was mildly conspicuous, printed with the red logo of Safeway, the British supermarket.

I loved everything about this book. The way the story was written and told put you in the room when things were happening. The background to the main story was seamlessly written, so I never lost the sense of where I was up to.
Ben McIntyre's narration has made me a huge fan of both his writing, and his voice, pronunciation and accent were just so right.

Sir Gareth Ludlow never truly recovered from the death of his fiancée. Years later, a chance encounter with Amanda, a young and devastatingly pretty runaway, inspires him to try to do the right thing and to set her on a path towards a good life. But Sir Gareth has been neck-deep in a life of debauchery and hedonism ever since his fiancée's death, and Amanda's startlingly lively imagination proves to be more than he'd bargained for. As they both become increasingly entangled in Sir Gareth's scheme, it seems more and more difficult for either of them to lead the life they should.

Narrator lets it down.
Revisado: 06-15-23
One of the things I enjoy so very much about English narrators, is their crystal clear and trustworthy pronunciation.
This narrator didn't bother to find out how 18th and 19th century Upper classes pronounced Mama and Papa. It drove me insane. Also, valice being pronounced like chalice.
Georgette Heyer's beautiful conversations were given no gentle nuances.
The book itself is one of my favoured GH, but not this narrator.

To give them hope she must tell their story. It's 1946. The war is over, and Juliet Ashton has writer's block. But when she receives a letter from Dawsey Adams of Guernsey - a total stranger living halfway across the Channel, who has come across her name written in a secondhand book - she enters into a correspondence with him, and in time with all the members of the extraordinary Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

Evocative, funny, clever, sad, beautifully read. Such an insight into living through war in an occupied country, and remaining true, beautiful people.

Rachel catches the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She's even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. If only Rachel could be that happy. And then she sees something shocking. It's only a minute until the train moves on, but it's enough. Now everything's changed.

Mary Stewart has a way of entwining her stories about you, with gentle and full words, dripping with the atmosphere of her England. I always sigh with deep contentment and read them again and again. Rose Cottage, and Touch Not the Cat are my favourites.

I couldn't finish this. Inane detail on unimportant things, no clear indication of who is who or where you are at any given time, no following up hinted details... I got frustrated at this wandering tale.
