Historia
Mad, bad, and dangerous to know. Theater of the Absurd takes on a whole new meaning when former teacher and Byron scholar Grace Hollister is hired as a script doctor for a cable film production. Hollywood wants to film the book Grace wrote about her past academic (and extracurricular) exploits on location in the Lake District. At first Grace revels in reflected Hollywood glamor and her reunion with boyfriend Peter Fox, antiques dealer and former jewel thief.

This is certainly not the best effort in this series. I can recommend it for those who have read and enjoyed the others. I would not recommend any reader to begin a relationship with these characters here.

Excellent Continuation of Maggie Hart's Story
Revisado: 01-22-16
If you like a good mystery, this is a good candidate. It's not your typical puzzle mystery, but the insight into the US at the very beginning of the war is fascinating. A very good read, and a great continuation of Maggie's story.

Historia
In December 1923, the formidable Dowager Viscountess Dalrymple has decided that for Christmas the family will all gather at Brockdene in Cornwall at the invitation of Lord Westmoor. Her daughter - Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher - is somewhat less than pleased but yields to the demands of her mother, especially as she'll be there just before the holidays working on another article for Town and Country about the estate itself. But the family gathering quickly goes awry.

Familiar Plot
Revisado: 01-06-16
Although this is a familiar plot from another mystery, I'll say that it's better handled here. The characters are well sketched, and the Christmas theme is not over done. A very entertaining read in a lively series!

Historia
Lord and Lady Baaden-Boomethistle have been in residence for some weeks now, and the villagers are hoping for a return to the good old days, when the lord of the manor sprinkled benefits across the village like fairy dust. Father Max Tudor's invitation to dinner at the Hall comes as a welcome novelty; it will be his first time meeting the famous family that once held sway in the area.

Another enjoyable story of Father Max
Revisado: 12-02-15
For those who've read other books in this series, this installment is no disappointment. Nether Monkslip continues to enhance its status as a place for spiritual and physical healing.....and too many murders. This series is sometimes wildly plotted with a muddying number of suspects and possible motives. However, the development of the main characters continues to deepen, and the Epilogue provided tantalizing suggestions about the continuation of the story line.

Historia
The year is 1929. As the world teeters on the brink of a global recession, Bletchley Park plays host to a rather special event. MI5 is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and a select band of former and current employees are gathering for a weekend of music, dance, and heavy drinking. Among them is Sir Hilary Manningham Butler, a middle-aged woman whose entire adult life has been spent masquerading as a man. She doesn't know why she has been invited, but it is clear she is not the only one with things to hide.

Awesome story tho not about Bletchley!

Entertaining
Revisado: 11-18-15
This story has nothing to do with Bletchley Park and the wartime activities associated with it. That being said, it's a well constructed and plotted mystery. The characters are believable and most are germane to the story (with the exception of the Smiths). Not great art, but a lovely way to spend several hours.

Historia
A woman vanishes in the fog up on "the Hill", an area locally known for its tranquility and peace. The police are not alarmed; people usually disappear for their own reasons. But when a young girl, an old man, and even a dog disappear, no one can deny that something untoward is happening in this quiet town. Young policewoman Freya Graffham is assigned to the case; she's new to the job, compassionate, inquisitive, and dedicated to the task of unraveling the mystery behind this gruesome sequence of events.

Great Story
Revisado: 03-31-15
Where does The Various Haunts of Men rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I wouldn't rank this as a stand alone audiobook, because it's such a wonderful book--full stop.
What other book might you compare The Various Haunts of Men to and why?
Strangely, this book reminds me somethat of the Detective Lindley series.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, because I prefer to take it slowly and enjoy the experience.

If you could sum up The Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries in three words, what would they be?
Female servant rules!
Which character – as performed by Lindy Nettleton – was your favorite?
Mrs. Jeffries is vividly portrayed. She's no-nonsense but very devoted to her employer.

Stunning
Revisado: 04-01-09
If you love Dickens, Tolstoy, P.D.James, or other authors similarly gifted with crafting plot and character, you will love this book. The worlds of publishing, computer hacking, and corporate finance all collide in the most natural of ways. This book provides enough character and suspense to keep any book lover engaged for its significant length.
