Mis-remembering my geography The Isle of Skye?

Revisado: 04-04-25

Almost any Dalgliesh mystery, is like a mental excursion to the country he speaks of. This one does not disappoint! It’s like the visit to a remote part of Scotland this lady will never visit. Full of surprises and wonderful character development. A delightful read.

A Stand alone superior

Revisado: 02-16-25

Of course, Anne Cleeves surprises with that actual person that committed the deed.! However, I have read the whole Jimmy Perez series in sequence, and found her treatment of Jimmy’s responses, to the “situation” not true to his character that has been developed so far. An opinion, another country heard from him. I’ll leave it at that. I do love this character, and Ms. Cleves’ writing of course is peerless Overall, an excellent book (I had the murder pinned on another character) Of course I’m always wrong. Overall, a great listen.

Silly and contrived

Revisado: 01-31-25

I should’ve returned this book about 10 hours in. It was mildly amusing and clever, however, it was also stupid and way too long. I wish I would’ve returned it. I chose it because I wanted a break from Ann Cleeves and JM Dalgleish; that was my mistake. The narrator was quite good, however, this book was not a serious mystery, I would describe it better as ridiculous and diversionary.

A who done it all along?

Revisado: 11-20-24

Barbara Rosenblatt’s narration was hilarious and excellent! Storyline was funny and interesting and I was shocked by the ending! Didn’t see that one coming. Almost threw it out at the very end and then the surprise. was a riot. It was delightful and I’ll order the next one in the series.

Too Dark

Revisado: 10-30-24

Loved all the other Cameron Winter books in the series. This one I was highly anticipating and even bought it ahead of time. However, the whole storyline was plodding too much interior on what was going on in Cameron‘s life, I thought the storyline regarding Charlotte and her past with Cameron moved along too slowly and I found it silly after a while. Men don’t think that way. I felt like it was a bit contrived and written more for women. This one I just wasn’t a fan of. Sorry.

An astounding an American woman

Revisado: 08-29-24

The narration and story of this very compelling American woman during the Victorian age had me spellbound. I literally could not stop listening. So much information about life in America, immigrants, poverty and her ingenious planning and running of the organization. It was masterful and brilliant.
I kept reminding myself. I never learned this in school, ever. Definitely a book worth a listen!

Silly and predictable

Revisado: 08-28-24

Rather juvenile and unimaginative. At first, I thought it was going to be more complex and interesting,, it was really was just girls solve a mystery about World war 2 during the 70s and the hippie generation scenarios. Rather contrived and campy.. I was surprised at the ending, however, I wouldn’t put it on my “you’ve got to read this” list.

A teeth-gritter of a listen

Revisado: 08-15-24

Impressively researched and well documented as far as I remember. I was in Louisiana the day the newspaper read President Kennedy shot in Dallas. I had to literally fast-forward this book, when I heard the details of Maryjo Kopechni’s death. Compelling and a book no one should forget when they remember whatever we thought was the Kennedys in “Camelot.”

Very well researched, excellent sources excellent interviews. Thoroughly provoking. Lots of work to do, much to think about. Must reading for any Christian or person that is even concerned about what’s going on in the world for their children and the next generation.

A Most Significant woman

Revisado: 05-28-24

I loved listening to this beautiful story about such an interesting woman. Her life chronicles from when she was a little girl, and took you on a journey through different years, countries and art experiences. I loved the exposure and the education I received regarding art. It was delightful to listen to the narrator who introduced you to each different storyline. I would recommend this book to any person that was interested in art of the past and interesting life. Isabella was a woman who significantly contributed to American art and peoples opportunity to be exposed to it. I’m grateful.
