Love the message of the book!

Revisado: 11-30-22

I love learning about the Word. I love Beth Moore’s passion for sharing what she learned about all things viticulture. Sharing with her readers how God, the master and original gardener, gave us this beautiful imagery all through scripture so we could learn just how much we need The Vine, need the viticulturist, need pruning, and the tending, and the watering. When you realize how God made the grape vine, and all of its many wonders, how it must be planted, tended, all of the uses of its fruits, etc. you realize God must have made this plant just so he could reference it in His Word to show us just how much he loves us. He said, I’m going to make a plant to represent me, my people, and my relationship to them. It’s going to be beautiful, and delicious, and then I’m going to use it to teach them about me, and my love for them. Praise the Lord, God is good!

Good, romantic, fun

Revisado: 05-20-22

This is a fun story, sending you on different paths of possibilities. The writing is good, the story was good, the narration was very good.
The romantic side of it doesn’t get too mushy, which is nice. And the mystery is solved satisfactorily. I LOVE all of Agatha Christie’s novels and once you’ve read read level of mystery writing it’s really hard not to compare everything else to her. So while she Great and amazing I would say this book was very good. Hope that helps! Definitely was worth the read ... well the listen rather :)

In the top 5 of Patricia Wentworth

Revisado: 02-13-22

I’ve read many many of the Ms. Silver’s cases. And this by far is one of my favorites. Maybe it’s the mystery of the treasure. Maybe it’s the Cinderella love story, but there’s a little love story in everyone of her books. I’m not sure I can put my finger on it... but this is definitely in the top 5. Fantastic writing and the narrator, that does all of the Ms. Silver mysteries, did a phenomenal job as usual. You won’t be sorry you used your credit on this one!

Horrible

Revisado: 10-22-21

The narration is good enough, but it’s cheesy. The story line starts out good, but suddenly turned into a very cheesy spooky mummy Halloween story. I listened all the way to the end hoping to be surprised by a good ending to this silly story with horribly long monologues is over done voices, but the ending is just as DUMB as the plot. I really wanted to like it. It was just very very silly. The main character Malcom is overly in love with dear Margret Trelawney. The kids of lines that really make you roll your eyes. The father (Egyptian scholar and explorer/ grace robber) doesn’t seem to realize that there might be something worth worrying about to bring a mummy back to life that’s killed people and who is possessing his “beloved” daughter.
Spoiler alter the mummy up and disappears at the end of the book after their “great experiment”. Stupid.

Intriguing, thought provoking, entertaining

Revisado: 06-21-20

The style was normal podcast style
The reporter Marc Fennel was Great, he’s Australian so even more enjoyable to listen to in my opinion than American reporters (sorry guys it’s the vocal fry especially in women). I thought they did a great job producing an interesting story that had me listening straight through!
Ps he says theirs mild vulgar language: it is the F bomb twice I believe once right towards the beginning the other kind of in the middle. So if your worries about listening with kids, just know it’s not all the way through out.

An enticing story

Revisado: 12-23-19

I like murder mystery’s best, mostly Agatha Christie. And so, when I had finished reading everything she has written I was left wishing there was more. So I do a quick google search on authors who are comparably good. I find Rachel Rhys on one readers list and decide to give this a try. I’m glad I did. You can tell where the story is heading after a while, but I couldn’t help wanting some proof that my ideas were right. It wasn’t disappointing to kind of know what coming, it was rewarding when it all finally came out. The characters are amusing, and annoying, and enjoyable. The narrators both did their parts very very well.

Not A Hercule Poirot Story at all!

Revisado: 12-29-18

If you love Agatha Christie and Hercule Poirot you probably won’t like this book very much. Poirot is a friendly detective, proud and boastful yes, but this Poirot is rather rude and uncharacteristically unfriendly. The beginning of this book caught me up and I thought it would be good, but by chapter 12 I had to stop reading the book. So many of the monologues are so long that it’s hard to stay focused and listen. Agatha had a way of getting you the details of the story through character conversations that didn’t quit give away too much information so that Poirot could magically make it all connect in the end. But this author gives away so much all over the place! The character who plays as the detective who helps Poirot has his own little sub story going on underneath the story which is just uncharacteristic of Agatha’s style of writing. Maybe I’m being to hard on the author but I feel like if she’d just made her own detective story, without trying to use Poirot, I wouldn’t have been so disappointed.

Love love love

This creepy little story has you going until the very end! I love this story and Murder on the Orient Express by A. Christie, narrated by Dan Stevens; he does all the characters voices and it’s perfect!
