Better than any Poirot tv show

Revisado: 07-19-22

As you know this is narrated by David Suchet. He does a different sounding voice for every character whether man or lady. It is a top performance. Ms. Christie’s is at the top too. I’ve listened to it many times and always find it very enjoyable.

Pass and pass again

Revisado: 03-08-21

I saw the ad for the new movie Chaos Walking. I noticed it was based on a novel. This book is the first part of multi part series.
The beginning is interesting, the first 3 hours. The next 8 hours are definitely chaos. At the end remember this is the first part of a multi part series. At one point the main character is told by his most respected, loved, mentor that everything he's been told is a lie. The main character of course forgets this and so the story goes into 8 hours of a dog chasing it's tail.

Not Robert Harris best

Revisado: 11-09-20

I’ve very much enjoyed Pompei and The Ghost Writer. I believe most of his stories are excellent. The premise of this book is excellent. The performance is excellent but the main character development is poor. It’s true what other reviews say about the ending. The last ten minutes are much out of character for Mr. Harris. Many things occur and I thought how convenient. The main character discovers something but it’s not clear. And then the BIG BIG BIG letdown and immediately thereafter The End! My guess is Mr. Harris was going to be sued for slander by a giant worldwide company or the publisher feared such; and the book had to be ended this way.
I think yall should listen to it but it won’t be one you listen to often. I plan to ask Audible for my credit back.

Much better than single reader

Revisado: 10-04-20

A good real life story about the end with relationships. Each character is different person. After listening to Vol. 1 I had to get Vol. 2.

European style high drama little cleaning

Revisado: 06-11-16

I was expecting American action. A little cleaning at the beginning and at the end. For the "Cleaner's" supposed knowledge he really underestimates his foe. A man who helped him and another who is friend both die; there is no reaction of sadness or change from him.
At the end of the story had he really atoned for anything? No, there was more sadness and chaos then when he wasn't there. I was very disappointed and will be deleting from my library.

Be secure in your faith before listening!

Revisado: 01-05-13

This is an interesting story with a definite ending. Of course there are always a couple of parts that you should not dwell on for believability. There is a lot of action and good flow. Surely, you have heard of the Knights Templar and their protection of some secrets. This story is one possible line of those secrets coming to light. The story takes place in current times and flashbacks to the past. The narrator is very good.

England 1171 AD, your first Medieval story ?

Revisado: 03-30-12

Murder mystery. Main character a lady with a special talent sent on a secret
mission to help the King of England. There is alot of background explanation
along the way. Good character development. The story is about the people
of the time and their inter workings. This is not a war story. The killer is not
revealed till near the end. And that is not the end of the story. The reader is
a lady and very good in pronounciation. One of my favorites.

As you know, a classic!

Revisado: 03-30-12

Excellent story of love and feelings at that time. The BBC movie with Colin
Firth was much like this. Most of the characters thoughts or reasons for
action are given by the author and there is alot of explanation at the end.
I thought the author should tell us more of Mr. Darcy and his coming to terms
with his own faults. The movie added a little in this regard. I will listen to this
one many times.

What a dog is thinking...

Revisado: 09-09-11

The whole story is from the perspective of the dog, Chet. And he is the story teller. If you have owned or been around dogs this will help you understand them. This is
a detective story with Chet's owner as the detective. Would say the story was for all ages except for a line about Chet's olfactory skills and some four letter words beginning with f. Some parts a little drawn out as Chet limited in communication.
Definitely, a different sort of book.

Excellent!

Revisado: 07-28-09

When each character has a different voice it is probably going to be good and this audio book does. The book is much the same as the movie with the background added. Some of the background related to sex would have pushed the movie beyond the "R" rating. If you liked the movie; get this too!
