Very interesting listen

I found this fascinating - made me want to re-examine my watercolor pigments in an entirely different light. Well worth the credit - and the economic history of some of the colors is wonderful!

The only books I pre-order

Revisado: 11-08-22

The writing and the performances are top-notch. My first audio book was the first Lady Hardcastle book and it's a good thing - made me a regular listener to audio books. T. E. Kinsey's writing is great - light hearted, but not at all simple or stupid. Lady Hardcastle and Florence are believable characters and the dialogue between them is witty - made all the more so with Elizabeth Knowelden's perfect narration. I look forward to these books like no others.

I adore this series

Revisado: 11-08-22

I've read the books eons ago - and was thrilled to come across them on Audible. If you are looking for a quick listen that at times will make you laugh, this is the series for you.

Well written and well performed.

Revisado: 11-20-20

This is my second book by these two authors and I'm glad I listened to it. Historical fiction is my jam - and these authors are a force to be reckoned with in this genre. Even though it is a long listen, it did not feel long at all. And it's wonderful to hear/read a story that may be, at least in part, familiar, but from a different perspective. Their research is obviously substantial, but at no point did I feel as if I were attending a lecture. And coming at Hamilton sideways (i.e., from his wife's perspective, rather than a first person story or a political rival) made him feel/read very human, foibles and all.

I learned nothing new from this book

Revisado: 11-20-20

If you know nothing about the gun fight at the O.K. Corral, this would be a fine book. If you've seen Tombstone, you'll get the general gist, although not completely historically accurate. The narration drove me nuts - dude's voice was not pleasant to listen to for that long. I was ultimately disappointed in this because there wasn't much new for me. At times it gets bogged down into details that seem pretty irrelevant and if you wanted to know what Wyatt Earp was like as a person, this won't do much to answer that question.

Well written, well performed, terrific characters.

Revisado: 11-20-20

Fun listen. Great narration and Mr. Smith creates fabulous characters. Sometimes funny, always charming. The narration is good, but Ms. Lecat is a South African rather than Botswanan - and perhaps a native narrator would be better. Small complaint - her narration sounds more British than African.

Enjoyable Listen

Revisado: 11-20-20

I needed something a little less "heavy" than I normally listen to or read - and this served its purpose well. The narration was great and I was honestly surprised upon finding out "whodunnit" - so it was at least, unpredictable. It was an enjoyable, easy-to-listen-to 7 hours.

Thoroughly enjoyable listen

Revisado: 11-09-20

I accidentally fell in love with Molly Harper's writing style, as well as the narrators used for her books. I most often read and listen to a great deal of nonfiction and a Molly Harper book came up in a 2 for 1 credit sale selection. Listened to it - laughed until my stomach hurt - and to use a horrible pun, that was all she wrote. I'm now a devoted fan of her books. That started my love for her style, her sense of humor, her great character development and the general story lines. Amanda Ranconi's narration is fabulous and perhaps makes the stories what they are in some ways. If you are looking for lighter fare (because let's be honest - this is not Dostoyevsky), written with a sense of humor and some intelligence, and kind of like the whole True Blood meets Willy Wonka thing - then I highly recommend anything by Molly Harper. It was a fantastic way to spend almost 9 hours.

Decent, but not enthralling.

Revisado: 11-09-20

It's a decent diversion. I had never heard of the criminal in focus here, so at least that part was interesting. Other than learning about a new-to-me criminal, it was a pretty average listen. Didn't hate it - didn't love it.

I had no idea!

Revisado: 11-09-20

Enthralling read if for no other reason, I had never heard of this series of crimes. It was a great way to spend 90 minutes. It is well read, well written, and a worthy diversion.
