Hamish has become a new man

Revisado: 09-06-24

You can definitely tell that there is a new person helping write these books. I’m not saying that it’s either good or bad, but Hamish has grown a backbone. There is also more action in this book which I am not a big fan of, but it wasn’t grotesque so it was fine.

Answers a lot of questions

Revisado: 05-10-23

There are always many sides to a story, but this open and honest account, answered a lot of questions for me. It is none of my business how anyone else lives their life but when they are constantly thrown in the public, one cannot help but wonder what is really going on. I appreciate the honesty about everything in this book.

Listened to this book probably 50 times

Revisado: 12-17-22

This book of Mr. Penikese writings was put together very well. I have listened to it more than 50 times and probably 100 or more. I first became interested in it when I saw it on a PBS special about 15 or 20 years ago. My dream to move to Alaska was fulfilled five years ago and here I am still listening to this audiobook. It has become like an old friend and when I can’t sleep, I listen to it, when I have nothing else to listen to, I listen to it, when I just want something to listen to, I listen to it. I don’t think you’ll regret this book. The narration by Norman date is superb as well.

Great book-Narrator needs to do her research

Revisado: 06-23-21

I really love Sue Henry books and I think that Lee Adams does a great job at narration. However, I live where this book takes place in Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula in Homer. It grates my nerves to hear the mispronunciation of many different places including Kachemak Bay and Kenai. it seems like common sense to me to perform some due diligence prior to narrating or reading any book for a public audience. I am hoping that future books will have proper pronunciation so that the book can be enjoyed as it should.

Timely and Surprising

Revisado: 04-28-21

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It did take lots of twists and turns and made it extremely interesting and enjoyable to listen to. The fact that it is set during the pandemic made it that much more relatable.

Inspiring

This book has me at 43 years old, thinking of not only dreaming bigger and out of the box, but doing something about it!

Background music is a nuisance

Revisado: 07-21-20

For some reason, the producers felt the need to include a classical type of music at random points of the book. It’s very distracting and irritating. The narrator is very good and my favorite actually. But I will be returning this book because of the irritating music. If I have an option to get this book without the music I would get it instead even with an inferior narrator. Removing the music would be an easy fix.

Very Well Written

Revisado: 03-26-20

Typically, I listen to murder mysteries. This was a mystery of another sort. It was written very well with lots of unexpected twists and turns. Had me on my feel the whole time. Well done!

Foul language ruined it for me

Revisado: 07-27-19

Narration is fantastic. The story was very good and it was very well written. This is, with the exception of the intro and end. For some reason the author felt it was necessary to have the village ladies throwing F bombs out several times in a row at both ends of the book. I would have happily moved on to the next mystery in the series had it not been for that. Not only was the language out of place and unnecessary, it was tasteless and shocking, considering it is supposed to be a book about a clergyman solving mysteries. Agatha Christie books have it all. Intrigue, red herrings, well- written story lines, and class. I guess I will have to stick to them.

Why the f word?

Revisado: 08-26-16

Louise Penny is a fantastic author. So I don't understand why she feels the need to throw the f bomb around with frequency. It seems that it is used for no reason as it doesn't even make sense. Instead of adding to the story, it only makes it feel like the author is trying too hard when there is no reason to do so. If I had known this prior to listening to my first book and getting hooked, I would not have begun listening at all. Aside from that, these books are very well written and I thoroughly enjoy them.
