This third and final volume of the unexpurgated diaries of Sir Henry 'Chips' Channon begins as the Second World War is turning in the Allies' favour. It ends with a prematurely aged Chips descending into poor health but still socially active and able to turn a pointed phrase about the political events that swirl around him and the great and the good with whom he mingles.

Am coming up on the final 5 hours of this majestic 150-hour audiobook and already dejected about its end. The narrator does a masterful job capturing Channon’s voice, his contempt, the French terms, and the occasional sentence from servants. An extraordinary life. I may have to relisten to the entire thing all over again.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 23
Written with exclusive access to Snowdon and the people closest to him, this book uncovers the real man and his times. Addressing the facts behind the myths - the secret courtship of Margaret, the love child born just weeks after the royal marriage, the affairs on both sides, the suicide of one mistress, and the birth of an illegitimate son to another - this balanced yet no-holds-barred account of Snowdon's life is essential for fans of The Crown and Ma'am Darling.

Superb narration
Revisado: 02-27-24
Stuffed full of incredible details. It’s a balanced portrait of a gifted man with some familiar interpersonal flaws. His mother was a selfish, rapacious social climber.
I love all of Anne de Courcy’s books. Cannot wait to see what she writes next.

Chris Bathum was a respected therapist, addiction specialist, and founder of one of the fastest-growing rehabilitation chains in America. But Bathum was a total fraud: he was a homicidal meth-head with a history of sexually abusing his patients, scamming insurance companies, and eliminating whistle-blowers. Like Rose Stahl. But this intended victim would be his last. Stahl would risk her life to bring down the monster she and so many other people in need had once trusted for their salvation.

Laughably bad narration
Revisado: 09-05-22
What a shame I had to give up after 30 or so minutes because the narrator’s ludicrous stabs at Valley Guy voices were so awful. Probably a great story.

Lady Cop Is World’s Least Convincing BSer
Revisado: 07-07-22
This local cop assigned to the case has all the believability of a 5yo kid telling a tall tale. Bonus wicked accent for extra lulz.

It has been one hundred years since Agatha Christie wrote her first novel and created the formidable Hercule Poirot. A brilliant and award-winning biographer, Laura Thompson now turns her sharp eye to Agatha Christie. Arguably the greatest crime writer in the world, Christie’s books still sell over four million copies each year - more than thirty years after her death - and it shows no signs of slowing.

Masterful blend of history, biography, true crime
Revisado: 09-20-21
Midway through this title and in previous week have lost considerable hours to Laura Thompson’s other books on the Lord Lucan case & the Edith Thompson/Freddie Bywaters executions. The audiobook versions make these compelling and hard to put down, but if Thompson’s ability to weave these stories together—using primary sources, news media coverage, and an especially incisive sociological approach—was not so skilled the audio would expose it. These are phenomenal books, all three of them, and I listen to scads of this stuff weekly (am BBC Radio addict, too). Incomparably recounted tales of the perils women have endured.
