Worth a read!

Revisado: 12-01-24

An interesting read with Maigret acting out on his intuitions and the climax which turns up everything on its head. The audiobook narration by Gareth Armstrong is especially well done!

My Rating - 4/5

A passable Poirot

Revisado: 06-25-24

With each book Sophie Hannah is getting better writing her "Poirot" and this book is definite improvement as well. The plot is not intriguing per se though this would have been mitigated if the resolution in the end would have been a brain twister or an unexpected one. And needless to say, the ending was just okay at best. Though, one thing needs to be said is that the characterisation of Catchpool's mother as a narcissistic egomaniacal monster was tedious at best and distracted from the plot more than it helped.
The narration however by Julian was a delight though and one of the main reasons I have been able to persevere through the "new version of Poirot" series from Sophie Hannah.

Best book in the series!

Amazingly written by Ann Cleeves and a ruddy great narration too! The characters were well written and the plot was quite a whodunit in the end.

Gritty and hard-hitting

Revisado: 04-14-18

A brilliantly written and dramatised no nonsense, police procedural series with great characters throughout. Also it doesnt shy from any sensitive issues plaguing UK and tackles them headon.

Brilliant!

What made the experience of listening to The Word Is Murder the most enjoyable?

A masterfully crafted book by Horowitz and shifts the genre of whodunits by blending in fiction with non-fiction. The central protagonist is the author himself here and over the course of the book, weaves in a murder mystery skillfully introducing the grump detective Hawthorne and a paraphernalia of characters, Christie-style with Holmesian bits thrown in. All in all, a fine and dandy book to read and would tax your grey cells a bit.

Also, brilliant narration! Kudos

Who was your favorite character and why?

The author and Detective Hawthorne, of course

Amazing universe!

Revisado: 12-08-17

Simply loved this book! The story is rich with promise and the lead character Binti is a mathenatical genius with the added novelty rhat she isnt ashamed or sorry about her prowess. She uses her mathematical abilities coupled with the traditional knowledge of her people to avert a major catastrophe involving some fearsome and poorky understood aliens.

I very much look forward to reading the next part of this amazing universe.

What did you love best about The Life We Bury?

The psychological elements and multi-faceted characters

What other book might you compare The Life We Bury to and why?

The girl on the train

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

No, I haven't. This is good but certainly can be improved. (For example, Stephen Fry's Harry Potter books narration is awesome)

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

NA

One of the finest mysteries out there !

Revisado: 10-02-16

The writing is undeniably superb as the author fleshes out the characters, setting and the atmosphere of Three Pines in detail. The audio narration is the cherry on top of this finely baked story.
