Exciting

Revisado: 10-15-24

I enjoyed this immensely! I have never heard of Simon R. Green let alone Ishmael Jones mysteries. I was looking for something different from what I normally listen to and happened upon this little treasure. It was as if I was watching a book instead of listening to a movie. It grab my attention right away and I binged listened to each book in the series. Graphic Audio absolutely delivered on their motto: "A movie in your mind" because the characters come to life in your mind...literally! It's nothing like listening to a book that you already know the plot/story from previous editions, It's brand new and I actually prefer the dramatizations over a "one-person" narrative story (my sleep aid). Now, I find myself downloading everything Graphic Audio produces. Scott McCormick and Laura C. Harris are just fantastic and I just found another series of books that they are portraying in and I am even more excited to hear their comradery again.

Oh my!

This was juicy! The story flows and the unexpected ending, superb! I enjoyed Billie Piper & Dan Stevens very much and the other players, whew, what can I say.
For me, it was a nail-bitter, edge of your seat kinda ride that took you on dips and trips you were NEVER ready for.
I highly recommend this and I believe I would actually do a listening party with this one.

Absolutely thrilling

Revisado: 02-08-24

O.M.Goodness, that opening prison scene blew my mind and whew...Mr LaSalle, you're BRILLIANT! I was so captivated that I had force myself to stop listening so I can sleep. The flow of the story, the retribution instead of revenge 😉 and the connections were outstanding. Although, I'm the type who roots for the underdog, I was disappointed the Clay didn't get his come-uppings for the family he killed but overall, this is a compelling read and do desire more. So, with that being said, I starting Laws of Annihilation now!

Lawd Half MERCY this is SO good!

I just finished listening to this and currently listening to the epilogue right NOW! I went ahead and bought the remaining two books in the series. The flow of the plot, the excitement of the chase and the not too much mushy, gushy stuff makes this a perfect read. Eriq La Salle voice just puts me on the couch as if I am watching this all unfold in front of me.
I highly recommend this to those who loves thrillers because I was just thrilled from beginning to end and I want more. Aww, so good, so freaking good!

So Enjoyable

Revisado: 12-11-23

I'm sitting here at work, looking for something to listen on this dreary Monday morning and I found this fun-filled audio book. I have heard how Sherlock Holmes used children occasionally for his investigation, but this was so much fun to listen to. It was exciting, thrilling and invigorating. It made me wish I was one of Holmes' Baker Street Irregulars (as I remember them growing up in S.E, DC).
I have always escaped to mysteries as a kid and this just drew me in. And Bill Nighy as the Cat or should I say DW (not to spoil it for anyone else) was just everything. I didn't want it to end and now I'm searching Audible to see if there's anything else like this.
I would highly recommend this to all who loves a good mystery. **BRAVO**

The Secret of Brimley Manor - Outstanding

Revisado: 10-02-23

I loved this one. I purchased a Cherringham compilation, this book really spoke to me. Being a decedent of slavery, it's normal for people of color to be the first suspect in any crime, especially on a stately manor house, even to be the perpetrator but this time, it's not the case. Sure, who wouldn't want retribution for slavery which has lead to systemic racism everywhere but to see the author appreciate the contribution of people of color, even in such a minute manner goes a long way. Thank you.
I love the narrator, who I currently watch on Midsomer Murders, has a very captivating and varied range to his voice. It's not the tone of his voice when he speaks the females lines, but more so the delivery and that's BRILLIANT!

Absolute fun

Revisado: 05-03-23

I figured this would be another detective series with a bumbling idiot for a sargent but no, street smart and put upon underlings show their worth at every turn. I even enjoyed the arrogant Inspector for once with his funny film noir quotes that are always off-putting to those around him. The performance was spectacular and each story builds on the relationship between the Inspector and HIS sargent. Recommend this one for the pure enjoyment of storytelling.

Enjoyable

I have always been a fan of John Dickson Carr and really thought I was getting treasure when downloading this collection. Donald Sinden is excellent! However, the dramatization is missing some pieces of most of the stories. I found that the worst of the lot was "The House on Gallows Lane". I really wanted Cynthia to get her come uppings for her jealousy over Leslie. And I don't know what they did with "The Blind Barber".
Yet, I still enjoy these so much; they carry me through on my busiest days at work. I do, moreover, recommend reading the actual books if you want to fully immerse yourself in the world of John Dickson Carr.

BRILLIANT

The cast is phenomenal! Sam is a complete mess. Her mother is a control freak. Keith, what can I say? What a rollercoaster of a drama! Highly recommend!

Neil Dudgeon is brilliant! As I listened, I really believed he was ginger with glasses.
