Enjoyed.

Revisado: 08-03-23

I always enjoy Hugh Fraser’s talents. I also enjoyed meeting another of Agatha Christie’s characters.

Enjoyable, even the second time.

Revisado: 02-09-23

Watching the characters lives progress from the first story and becoming better acquainted with them is delightful. I feel silly because of my audible exclamations and giggles. I really enjoy and appreciate the real humorous and touching life moments Richard Osman’s writing brings to mind. I sometimes wish there was more distinction between some of the voices, it is so well written there is no real confusion as to who is speaking.

Thank you Shannon and Lyndsay.

They share their flower farming experiences with heart, honesty and humor. I have much to learn; I really appreciate this source of education and encouragement. (and they are easy to listen to).

One of my favorite books

Revisado: 05-10-18

I need/enjoy books that are interesting and intelligent, but not too suspenseful or exciting. (Real life has enough drama.) I thoroughly enjoy listening to the characters in this story go about their everyday lives while the murder is solved as one of several intertwined themes. The characters and their experiences are very engaging.
The humor is subtle. "I do irritate people, I talk too much for one thing. Now, as I was saying..."

Wodehouse at his most enjoyable

Revisado: 02-23-16

Mr. Cecil's vocal repertoire aids the listener's enjoyment of P. G. Wodehouse's characters and a true Wodehouse plot, employing a wonderfully rich vocabulary.

Good for driving

Revisado: 04-20-07

The plot is pretty good--you can see partial solutions then another twist comes. I did not think the narration was very good. The speaker was clear, but the characterizations were distracting rather than enhancing. Also, my recording had a number of skips. They were short enough (I think) that they did not affect the story, but they were annoying.

Mediocre performance

Revisado: 03-26-07

This is one of the great “Bertie and Jeeves” novels by Wodehouse, but the production does not do it justice. The narrator often uses the wrong voices for the character who is suposed to be talking. Sometimes he corrects it part-way through the line, sometime he charges on. I am disappointed they did not do another take and correct these errors. They are pretty obvious, and they detract much from the story. On a personal preference, I thought the characterizations missed the mark but others might think they are accurate. I much preferred the audio files once available that were narrated by Frederick Davidson. They were read accurately and, to me, the voices were right on the mark.

To summarize, the story is 5 stars, the production is 1 star for voice and direction, and 5 stars for technical quality. Overall, a 3.

Kay irritates me

Revisado: 04-26-04

I get pulled in to these books hoping Scarpetta will grow up. She makes poor judgments and takes questionable risks, while scolding everyone else in her patronizing manner (she's a doctor, you know). She expects everyone to follow her rules, except herself. The recording was clear. The narration was slow and deliberate. The protagonist is annoying enough to keep me alert during my commute.
