Incredibly Tedious
Revisado: 10-14-24
I loved the Thursday Murder Club. This narration is turgid and the story fails to take flight. Not at all amusing

Revisado: 09-19-22
This one lacked real tension and novelty. In addition, the narrator was a bit lugubrious.

It's Carnival week in Cherringham, but while most of the locals are looking forward to the regatta, the parade and the fireworks, Jack and Sarah are more interested in the mysterious body that's been uncovered at the archaeological dig just outside the village ... No Roman soldier - but a young man, no ID. Definitely the victim of a cold blooded murder ... from just a few decades ago. It's a baffling cold case - but one that soon heats up when a member of the carnival committee suddenly goes missing. Jack and Sarah investigate - and quickly come up against a wall of silence.

Tired repetitive
Revisado: 04-19-22
This series is getting tired and repetitive. The author signaled his sexism and political animus by comparing the culprit to Hillary Clinton.

Lifeless
Revisado: 01-24-21
This story has nothing in common with with the Mistress of the Art of Death series and is unbearably boring and bleak at the same time. Awful.

Hard to follow

I was disappointed in this sequal. The narration was excellent, but the action was often difficult to follow in an audiobook.

Enjoyable listen,but not a clever story
Revisado: 01-27-20
I enjoyed this audiobook, but have two major issues with it. First, the narrator’s voice is too old for a story which has transitioned to detectives in their 20’s. Second, the plot lines were telegraphed from the very beginning. There were no surprises or twists

Hidden away in rural Devonshire, Phyllida Satterthwaite has always been considered more odd than beautiful. But in London, her oddity has made her a sensation. Far worse, it’s caught the eye of the sinister Duke of Moreland - a notorious art collector obsessed with acquiring one-of-a-kind treasures. To escape the duke’s clutches, she’s going to need a little help. Captain Arthur Heywood’s days of heroism are long past. Grievously injured in the Peninsular War, he can no longer walk unaided, let alone shoot a pistol. What use can he possibly be to a damsel in distress?

I listened to this because of Alex Wyndham’s excellent narration of Stella Riley’s novels. Sadly, this book was trite, boring and just plain awful.

Prickly, wry, resistant to change yet ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic, Olive Kitteridge is “a compelling life force” (San Francisco Chronicle). The New Yorker has said that Elizabeth Strout “animates the ordinary with an astonishing force”, and she has never done so more clearly than in this book, where the iconic Olive struggles to understand not only herself and her own life but the lives of those around her in the town of Crosby, Maine.

The nominal king, Edward VI, is 11 years old. His uncle, Edward Seymour, Lord Hertford, rules as Edward's regent and Protector. In the kingdom, radical Protestants are driving the old religion into extinction, while the Protector's prolonged war with Scotland has led to hyperinflation and economic collapse. Rebellion is stirring among the peasantry. Matthew Shardlake has been working as a lawyer in the service of Henry's younger daughter, the lady Elizabeth.

And then I walked left to watch the paint dry...
Revisado: 02-20-19
I, too, have loved this series but found the writing very redundant this time. Matthew Shardlake goes to the same characters over and over again to ask them the same questions and gets the same answers. As far as I can tell this is a time filler so that the author can cover each event of Kett's Rebellion. The result is a fair amount of tedium without the story moving forward. The civil unrest of Edward's reign is a generally ignored area, so spending some time on the rebellion is interesting, but this bleeds over into boredom. I also question the evolution of Shardlake from gentleman lawyer to enthusiatic rebel.
