Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 530
Geoffrey Lushington, Mayor of Marlow, dies suddenly during a Town Council meeting. When traces of aconite—also known as the queen of poisons—are found in his coffee cup, the police realize he was murdered. But who did it? And why? The police bring Judith, Suzie and Becks in to investigate as Civilian Advisors right from the start, so they have free rein to interview suspects and follow the evidence to their heart’s content, which is perfect because Judith has no time for rules and standard procedure.

A bit bombastic at the end

Less interaction between characters. Judith took over at discovery- long winded . The end a bit overdone.

The voice is irritating, and it has now been automatically attached ( with a mechanical voice intro) to a sleep podcast I have loved. It keeps popping in if I play. The podcast that has worked for me.

I really wanted to like this book - l
Revisado: 07-20-16
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
The narrator- the authors- switched back and forth from british/ australian accent to american narator jarring and too fast, I even tried slowing it to ,75 %, it was actually beter for parts of it,
If you’ve listened to books by Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris before, how does this one compare?
I like the earlier ones better
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Tee Morris and Pip Ballantine ?
The same as the earlier ones
Could you see The Ghost Rebellion being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Don't know - couldn't finish

History happens all around you. And, occasionally, to you. I could have been a bomb-disposal expert, or a volunteer for the Mars mission, or a firefighter, something safe and sensible. But, no, I had to be an historian. It began well. A successful assignment to 17th century Cambridge to meet Isaac Newton, and another to witness the historic events at The Gates of Grief. So far so good.

The story wasn't bad, the narrator almost tanked
Revisado: 04-25-12
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
The idea is interesting-a son looking foe his fatherm who is travelling in tie
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I was pleasantly surprised
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The cadence and rhythm of the narration were so irritating that my hackles rose every time I heard"Dave".
Which unfortunately, and not a credit to the author,was far too often.

American-born Paul Theroux had lived in England for 11 years when he realized he'd explored dozens of exotic locations without discovering anything about his adopted home. So, with a knapsack on his back, he set out to explore by walking and by short train trips. The result is a witty, observant and often acerbic look at an ever eccentric assortments of Brits in all shapes and sizes.

This book is ruined by the narrator
Revisado: 04-07-12
Is there anything you would change about this book?
One has only to compare this book with Bill Bryson- who also writes travel books as an America Ex-pat. He has picked up a bit of a British accent, loves Britain, but sees the absurdities.
This narrator instead of fond irony sounds smug and deprecating.
I think I may get the book and try again-in general I have loved Paul Theroux,
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Just plain grating, and it was really hard to synthesis the British voice with the american point of view,.
Was Kingdom by the Sea worth the listening time?
Still struggling to finish
Any additional comments?
Why ruin a good book ?

In this Hugo-winner from Connie Willis, when too many jumps back to 1940 leave 21st century Oxford history student Ned Henry exhausted, a relaxing trip to Victorian England seems the perfect solution. But complexities like recalcitrant rowboats, missing cats, and love at first sight make Ned's holiday anything but restful - to say nothing of the way hideous pieces of Victorian art can jeopardize the entire course of history.
