Historia
England, 1914. The world is at war. Captain Hastings, injured and shaken, is invited to Styles Court to recover. It’s a grand old country house - the family home of his old friend - and a perfect haven. Or so it seems. But in the blistering summer heat, trouble is afoot. Simmering tensions are tearing the family apart, and it all comes to a head in the most horrifying way.

Loved this!
Revisado: 01-27-25
Peter Dinklage is the new Poirot for me. I loved this one. Not a fan of adaptations usually, but this is one I am glad I tried out. Not just Dinklage, all the others were spot on too! Plus excellent background music with the violin. Adds to the atmosphere.

Historia
In 2014, the world witnessed the start of a mysterious series of cyberattacks. Targeting American utility companies, NATO, and electric grids in Eastern Europe, the strikes grew ever more brazen. They culminated in the summer of 2017, when the malware known as NotPetya was unleashed, penetrating, disrupting, and paralyzing some of the world's largest businesses—from drug manufacturers to software developers to shipping companies. At the attack's epicenter in Ukraine, ATMs froze. The railway and postal systems shut down. Hospitals went dark.

Well researched and narrated book. Scary read as an IT person on what others have gone through and what could happen.

Historia
When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity. Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media: has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.

Amazing performance
Revisado: 09-07-20
The story felt a bit dated but the performance was riveting. I was reading this book side by side on my Kindle and if it hadn’t been for Michael York’s performance I might have given up. He voiced each character so perfectly, gave so many nuances to the dialogues... wonderful!

Historia
Slough House is a dumping ground for British intelligence agents who've screwed up cases in any number of ways - by leaving a secret file on a train or blowing a surveillance. River Cartwright, one such "slow horse", is bitter about his failure and about his tedious assignment transcribing cell phone conversations. When a young man is abducted and his kidnappers threaten to broadcast his beheading live on the Internet, River sees an opportunity to redeem himself.

Boring
Revisado: 02-10-20
Everyone raves about this book and it’s sequels but I found this boring. Listened about 5 hours before finally giving up. Too much description, too less action.

Historia
In the wake of an earthquake, the water level of an Icelandic lake drops suddenly, revealing the skeleton of a man half-buried in its sandy bed. It is clear immediately that it has been there for many years. There is a large hole in the skull. Yet more mysteriously, a heavy communication device is attached to it, possibly some sort of radio transmitter, bearing inscriptions in Russian. The police are called in and Erlendur, Elinborg, and Sigurdur Olii begin their investigation, which gradually leads them back to the time of the Cold War when bright, left-wing students would be sent from Iceland to study in the "heavenly state" of communist East Germany.

Good book!
Revisado: 07-09-19
This was a good listen. Yes, like some of the reviews said it goes into some history, but stick with it it’s worth it. There was just one chapter which felt a bit dry with the history but it all makes sense as you read on. This is one of those books where more than the whodunnit we are interested in the whydunnit. Excellent narration by George Guidall as usual.

Historia
When Inspector Peter Glebsky arrives at a remote ski chalet on vacation, the last thing he intends to do is get involved in any police work. He's there to ski, drink brandy, and loaf around in blissful solitude. But he hadn't counted on the other vacationers, an eccentric bunch, including a famous hypnotist, a physicist with a penchant for gymnastic feats, a sulky teenager of indeterminate gender, and the mysterious Mr. and Mrs. Moses.

Good narration and story. But a bit odd.
Revisado: 07-31-18
I enjoyed the narrator and characters. But I found the end a bit unsatisfying. I think it ended too soon. It was a good ending but dunno didn’t feel too right.

Historia
In the 25th century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person's consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or "sleeve") making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.

Bad audio - beware!
Revisado: 05-25-18
I bought this after watching the Netflix show but I stopped listening after about 30 mins. The audio quality is bad. Not very loud. Has an audio cassette sort of hiss in the background. Abrupt silences. Poor editing. All this distracted me from the experience. Unfortunately I put my membership on hold and can't even return it for a while! Will just go and get the physical book as the story seems to be something I'd enjoy.

Historia
Sinclair Rutherford is a young Seattle cop with a taste for the finer things. Doing menial tasks and getting hassled by superiors he doesn't respect are definitely not "finer things". Good police work and bad luck lead him to crack a case that changes quickly from a career-making break into a high-profile humiliation when footage of his pursuit of the suspect - wildly inappropriate murder weapon in hand - becomes an Internet sensation.

Good narration as usual but boring story
Revisado: 03-29-18
I struggled through for 2 hours then gave up. There wasn't much to keep me hooked in the story. Lots of tongue in cheek dialogues and descriptions but nothing much in terms of plot development or movement. Wish I had liked it as I loved the Magic series.
