Tragic story well told

Revisado: 07-16-19 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This is a very tragic story of a woman in an abusive and horrible relationship , a situation very hard for me to understand that she didn’t do more to get out of , especially when she had the chance several times. Unfortunately we often hear that this actually is a huge problem, and the authors foreword goes into this .At times I found the main character a bit whiny.... The twist at the end upped my rating by a whole star and the story really made sense.
The narrator suited the book and subject.
I was given this audiobook in return for an honest review.

This was not for me

Revisado: 09-03-18

I really thought I was going to love this book, and with so many rave reviews I was sure I would.
The plot was actually very interesting, and quite clever , keeping you guessing how it all fitted togeter, But I really disliked the way the story was told , so much wierd filling. I wasn’t grabbed by the story until the last two hours, up until then I could easyily just stopped, only stubbornness made me persevere.
This was narrated by the author, who generally does a good job, but I found it difficult to differentiate between the characters, I found that I really had to concentrate to keep up with which character was “talking”

Interesting but a little dry

Revisado: 01-11-18

Any additional comments?

I don’t very often listen to non fiction , as I have difficultly keeping up the interest. But after seeing the film Hidden figures - which I loved , I was interested to have more background. I did find it rather dry in parts , and had I not seen the film I don’t think I would have been able to stick with it.
I found the narrator did a good job making not too tedious, as not fiction in audio often is. I had hoped for more warmth and a deeper insight into the personalities from the film. I still found it interesting

Any additional comments?

I did not realise at the time of listening that this was actually the second in a series but this did not affect my enjoyment of the story. So it works fine as a stand alone.

Nice audio version

Revisado: 07-26-17

Any additional comments?

I have such loving childhood memories of this book, it's such a wonderful story .
I have also have seen the tv series numerous times.I was lucky to have been given a copy of this new audio book version, I stuggled a bit to start with , not because there is anything wrong with this audio edition, but purely because I still had all the voices from the tv series in my head! Obviously a soul narrator is going to be very diferent! But once i got used to it I settled down to thouroghly enjoying Laurel Schroeder's narration

wonderfull reader - such a relaxing vioce

Revisado: 07-09-17

Any additional comments?

I was given this one,so I could share my thoughts, I must say the narrator has a fantastic realaxing voice, one of the best I have heard for this type of audiobook. (and this is so important !!
The author repeats the same sleep inducing text to different soothing backgrounds, which is good if you haven't fallen asleep, you then have another chance.
The first time I listened this kept me awake because I was wondering what the next one would be .... Now I can choose my favorite and just listen to that chapter.

My only "complaints" would be - 1.That it is too short ( although it does state this in book discription ) and 2. That the blurb at the end wakes you up if you have just fallen asleep !!

fun story rather spoilt by dry female narrator

Revisado: 07-21-16

What didn’t you like about Napoleon Ryan and Heather Wilds ’s performance?

Napoleon Ryan did a really good job on the male narration, suited the tone of the story so well, delivering the slightly silly puns as I felt they where intended. But I found Heather Wilds female narration very dry and over stilted .

Any additional comments?

this was a fun story

An unuasual cozy mystery

Revisado: 03-17-16

What did you love best about A Murder in Mount Moriah?

The cozy comical text and the wonderful narration

Any additional comments?

The author has chosen a rather unusual "hero" for this cozy mystery , a hospital chaplain, but the plot works. The story interested me right from the start . Nice quirky characters, Lots of small comical moments lighten the story. The red herrings in the story keeps you guessing throughout. Very enjoyable . Well narrated by Holly Adams , her voice suited the audiobook very well I recieved this audiobook in return for an unbiased and honest review via Audiobookblast dot com
