A true Cozy!

Revisado: 03-12-24

This was the epitome of a Cozy Mystery. It was interesting, fun and there was a little restrained romance. I know that main character Clare Barclay is going to be a favorite! Loved the narrator's voice and pacing.

Fascinating but NOT Preachy

Revisado: 01-17-24

The author reads his own material. He is engaging and humorous. Lots of facts and data to get through, but they are convincing and well researched. Loved the raw interviews at ends of some chapters. His take on UPFs is simple: be informed and make your own choices. This is NOT a diet book-- it's a science and business story. Excellent!

Good Twists

Revisado: 09-06-20

A murder at a crime writers festival. Cool idea and we'll executed with a nod to Agatha Christie and the White Swan.

Great Plot. Love the Narration

Revisado: 01-23-20

A few twists and turns close to the end. Like the narrator, you might figure out who is guilty, but can't prove it till the last few pages.

It's Not Over Till....

Revisado: 12-21-19

Love this narrator. A little snarky with a big heart and curiosity that doesn't end with the jury's verdict. Will definitely try another David Rosenfelt audio book.

A Wonderful Halloween Treat

Revisado: 10-08-19

So much fun to listen to RL Stine at his Spookiest. Great dramatized format. Brought me back to the 90s with my own boys reading Goosebumps, so I'll definitely be sending this along to the grandkids. Recommended for 9/10 and above...it might be a little too SPOOKY for younger kids.

Excellent performance. Great reporting. I hope this is only part one of a story that has an end.

Spooky-- a fun fall read

Revisado: 09-15-16

A good thriller with some unexpected twists at the end. Scary but you can still listen with the lights out. Perfect to get you in the 🎃 Halloween spirit.

Fabulous Period Piece

Revisado: 09-08-16

A great historical romance in the style of Downton Abbey. Set a generation before DA; if you enjoy a novel of manners and the ins and outs of social class and marrying for money, Trollope's novel definitely delivers.

China Bayles and Christmas, too!

Revisado: 01-16-15

Would you listen to Holly Blues again? Why?

Holly Blues was a great Christmas listen/read. It had just enough of the holiday to be festive and continued to investigate not only the murder but the relationships of the main characters as well.

What did you like best about this story?

The writing is sharp. As a westerner myself, I appreciate the idioms and ways of thinking about the land and the rights/responsibilities of others that Wittig expresses through China and McQuade.

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. But I have to say that while the female narrator was good, the male narrator really nailed it. He sounded so West Texas that I could immediately picture him.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

This particular book is actually too small for a film. But, a movie about China Bayles and her life with McQuade would be wonderful.

Any additional comments?

I've read a couple of the China Bayles novels, but listening to them adds a new dimension.
