Thoughts….

Revisado: 02-18-25

I’m disappointed in the increasing number of narrators who are incapable of carrying off a foreign accent. Sigh…
The story was amazing, waaay better than I would’ve ever anticipated! Really pulled in by both characters. A unique take on a work of historical fiction, and sadly, I’m suspect events that happened frequently. I thought character development was interesting.
That said, here’s what happened (from my point of view). I’m reading this incredible, captivating, intriguing, edge-of-your-seat book for the first 30 chapters….then in the last hour or so, it got *insanely* annoying with religion, praying, faith….blah blah. I suddenly felt as if I’d gone to a faith revival. Like, where did that come from?? I felt it was totally inappropriate, and shoved in as some last minute idea. Couldn’t take it!

Painful narration

Revisado: 02-03-25

I’m not sure why narrators that were unable to carry off a German accent were used. It almost made me return the book but I knew the story would be interesting (& it was). My one and only negative about the story/characters is that Tilde’s husband was so annoying. At one point in the book, I just fast forwarded because he was completely getting on my nerves

Great author and narrator but…

Revisado: 01-07-25

It was a disappointing book in comparison to some of the author’s other books. Adelaide made me absolutely insane. Is anyone really that stupid & naive?? I also felt like there was too much ridiculously predictable “boy meets girl”. The overall storyline is very good and I like the author but too much that was annoying. The narrator is excellent, as usual!

So disappointing

Revisado: 09-19-24

I found the characters to be irritating, predictable, and abrasive right from the start. I usually try to give books a chance, but no-can-do with this one. IDK what Laurie King was thinking. She's usually an awesome author. Too bad

Another great mystery

I always enjoy this series. Mattie is an interesting, complex character. Her relationship with her canine partner is both intriguing and precious. Good story

Another excellent book

I really enjoyed this Bess Crawford installment. Intriguing “side story” tied in. Outstanding narration too!

This one is too hokey

Revisado: 12-08-22

I wouldn’t have expected to like this series, but I’m really enjoying it. That said, the “side story” with Mary and Henry was just too ridiculously hokey and corny for me. Hard to listen to because IMO, it was so nonsensical.
Otherwise a good mystery/adventure and very good narration

Tough one to rate

Revisado: 09-19-22

I’ve always liked this narrator, but with this book I realized just how AMAZING he is! Quick changes between British, American, and Australian without a flaw….wow! As always, I love Lennox’s character, but for some reason, the other characters were tiresome to me, and the story a letdown. I’m sure it’s just a preference thing. I love the series as a whole, and look forward to the next book
