One of my favorite In Death books.

This one dives onto Somerset's past in the Urban Wars. Great story about the importance of honor and friendship in fighting the good fight.

Peters and Rosenblat are the dazzling duo!!

Revisado: 12-17-24

Another fantastic installment. Be sure to read them in order as they get more serious later to match world events and the growing community of characters.

I'm so grateful to this author. RIP Barbara Mertz. The next plane of existence is lucky to have you. Say hi to Sir pTerry for me.

These single-narrator versions of Discworld are wonderful

Revisado: 07-08-24

One of my favorite entries in the Witches series. Read them in order, but wriggle in glee when you far to this one.

The narration is the best and the audio quality perfect. I hope the keep the Stephen Briggs and Nigel Planer Discworld books available until the end of time!

Rosalind Pike is an amazing narrator

Revisado: 12-31-19

This is such a wonderful read of this classic. Sooooooooooooo good I keep rewinding. It was fun to learn how much of the dialogue in the BBC miniseries was taken verbatim from the original book. Austen goes further with a look into the lives after that everyone will want to read

Slow down and let yourself sink into this wonderful story

Revisado: 04-19-18

There is something so mesmerizing about Ivory’s writing. It makes me remember what it is like to feel.

She conveys the growth of emotion and the progress in the change of character so well that everything I’ve read since seems like stop-motion animation.

Take time to listen to this wonderful story.

Not my favorite Balogh

Revisado: 03-17-18

This was a very comfortable novel. Every situation that could have created tension or conflict quickly resolved in the best possible way. This makes it hard to get to know the characters.

The heroine is brave and genuine but we never see her truly challenged. Every situation simply turns out well. The hero’s most common expression is to repeat that he hates to be bored. Yes, it is an affectation to hide his true personality but it wears after so many repetitions.

I liked both of them well enough and am curious about the people surrounding them so I may read the next book... Usually in a new series I cannot wait.

Normally LK is one of my fav authors...

Revisado: 07-15-17

The heroine held her whiny, hypocritical, martyred course throughout the book. I kept hoping for some character arc, but no. Very frustrating. Especially because the hero is truly interesting and overcame so much in an attempt to win her trust and love. I could not understand her complete failure to see things from anyone's but her own point of view. In the midst of various crises affecting people she supposedly loves her thoughts are all about how she has been betrayed and how her life will be affected. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I would love to see this hero have another chance at a heroine equal to him in character and genuine kindness.

Good narration and charming secondary characters. I have not lost faith in LK, so many great novels, but wish I had not spent a credit on this one.

Painfully silly. Cussler, Ludlum fans beware

Revisado: 08-16-05

This book represents a miracle of marketing-- how else could they get blurbs from Nelson DeMille and Clive Cussler?? I hear they posted a job listing on Monster.com to recruit agents for the "Atlantis Project" so maybe that kind of stunt has drawn people to read this excuse for a thriller.

I don't mind an outlandish plot-- I love escapist fiction. But the descriptions are so banal and the characters so unlikeable that I found myself laughing at the writer's choices (rather than enjoying the ride of a compelling story).

Definitely my harshest review ever, but the combination of poor prose, whiny characters and contraction action (comes every two minutes whether the plot calls for it or not) deserves zero stars.

we want the unabridged/Barbara Rosenblatt version

Revisado: 06-16-05

This abridged version and this narrator don't do this book justice.

Wait for Audible to offer Recorded Books' wonderful versions of this and other early Quick books. They're funny, fast-paced, and charming.

Don't believe the hype

Revisado: 01-28-05

What a disappointment. I accidentally clicked two stars-- meant to give it just one. I picked it based on the customer reviews and Scott Brick's talents as a narrator. Even Mr. Brick couldn't save this one; though the narration is very good, this story is not. The plot doesn't twist-- it rambles, the characters are boiler plate, and the hero's behavior is bizarre (super cool one moment, silly outburst the next). Throw in some painful deus ex machina moments and you've got this book in a nutshell.

Some fairly good chase and slaughter scenes, but that's not why I read a mystery.
