Great idea but ….

Revisado: 01-23-25

A devastating explosion in a dance hall in a small town in the 1920s is revisited 50 years later. The premise only works because no one at the time investigated the cause of the explosion - but with 39 people dead how could there not have been an investigation? Even when we readers find out who is responsible, the rest of the town doesn’t? Lame

Great character development

Revisado: 06-30-24

A really compelling storyline, with great characters made real. Narrator was a really good fit.

Fun and light mystery

Attention to fine details catches the culprit at the end! Fun listen to get there.

Horrible and inaccurate dialogue! Illogical plot.

Revisado: 02-23-24

So much of the dialogue was simply out of place. We’re in 1880s London, and yet people are “fired” or “canned”, when they should have been dismissed. They claim to be “smart” rather than clever, at a time when smart meant you were well dressed. Mrs Watson had an Australian accent, which would be fine if that was part of her backstory. Not to mention the inane and illogical ending when *spoiler alert* one character says that I need you alive [to achieve a vital purpose], then draws a gun and shoots that person. A great idea, so badly written!

Good story, took a while to get there

Revisado: 01-28-24

Awesome narration from Scott Brick, but there seemed to be a lot of whispering that made it hard to follow. Good story of a good man in difficult circumstances. Action scenes were well described, ending was satisfying.

#hashtag annoying!

Revisado: 04-27-23

The main character is hard to like - constantly saying things in air quotes and hashtags, playing an airhead while her acquaintances seem to adore her the moment they meet. No character development, and too much of a Main Character vibe to the supposed heroine. Hi hum. You’ll see the mystery a mile away.

Not as good as it could have been

Revisado: 04-27-23

No resolution, too many characters, not much point overall. Could have been a great story.

Great premise but only ok plot

Revisado: 04-10-23

I really liked the concept of a sentient octopus even though he was way more informed than would be credible. Interesting characters but the plot arc was so obvious from the beginning that only the quirk of the octopus saved it at all.
