Much better than "The Women"

Revisado: 02-21-25

I read this memoir when it was published in the 1980s and decided to listen to it on audible because I was disappointed in "The Women" by Kristin Hannah. I am so glad I made the decision to listen and am appreciative that it is available for free.. "Home Before Morning" was even better than I remembered. Raw and heartbreaking but such an important story. 5 stars.

Another home run

Revisado: 02-11-25

I can't figure out why more people don't know about this series. This entry, like the other four, is outstanding. Likeable protagonists, snappy dialogue, touches of humor, clever plot, great narration. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a mystery series that has touches of Nero Wolfe, Sherlock Holmes, film noir, Mickey Spillane and more.

Great story and narrator

Revisado: 06-09-24

I very much enjoyed this first book in the series. The narrator was great. I particularly enjoyed the hardboiled 1940s feel. Clever and fun. I have already purchased book 2.

Interesting

Revisado: 04-06-24

I enjoyed this very much. It was a well researched glimpse into a relatively unknown part of CIA history. I can appreciate that the detail might not be interesting for some listeners, but the detail is what appealed to me. The narration also worked for me.

Blah

I love the Lady Hardcastle books so was expecting to enjoy this one. I did not. The story was boring, the characters were uninteresting and I found my mind wandering multiple times.

Simply the best

Revisado: 08-06-18

I have loved this book since I first read it 30+ years ago, but I gained a new appreciation for this American classic when listening on audible. Sissy Spacek really brings every character to life. I now listen to this audible version every year. It's a must listen.

Not just a YA book

Revisado: 11-13-17

This book was recommended to me as a YA novel. It was so much more than that. I thoroughly enjoyed the historical backdrop and found the storyline very interesting. It kept me engaged from start to finish. I also really liked the four narrators for the four main characters. Overall, recommended reading for anyone. "Audible 20 Review Sweepstakes Entry.”

Boring

Revisado: 11-12-17

Great premise (a mystery narrated from the perspective of the dog) but the story was poorly written and just plain boring. I am not sure how this book got such high ratings from so many others, but I would not recommend it.
