Story was totally implausible

Revisado: 04-05-24

Science fiction is supposed to be somewhat plausible but this story was ridiculous from the beginning.

Characters have become tedious

Revisado: 06-11-23

Both Lydia and Silkstone have become tedious and lack credibility. The series should have ended when Lydia disappeared. The rest is melodrama with the appropriate ridiculous ending. I assume another episode will come but I have lost interest

Another wonderful adventure in Regency London

Revisado: 10-06-18

I have listened to every one of CS Harris' Lord Devlin mysteries and this competes with the best of them.

Thoughtful plot (but not so intricate that it keeps me awake at night), well developed and interesting characters within enough historical framework to make it compelling listening.

A riveting plot and engaging characters

Revisado: 04-02-18

I am a fan of time travel books and i have read and listened to many, from the light and humorous to the serious and thought provoking. This book stands out from them all as far as I am concerned.

The underlying theory is thought provoking and very different from all the other time travel books I have read - so much so that I am still musing over it weeks after I completed the book. This is REAL science fiction to my mind, in the same genre as Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein.

In addition the characters are so engaging that I really cared about what happened to them, something that rarely happens in Science fiction.

If you are a science fiction fan (as opposed to science fantasy) I highly recommend this book

Interesting story and good narration

Revisado: 01-19-17

I found the story interesting if fairly predictable. A gentle spy thriller and i enjoyed the characters very much. Narration was particularly good.

Unfortunately the Narrator changed for subsequent books in the series and i did not enjoy her performance at all

Trying too hard to write an erotic novel

Revisado: 01-14-15

I did enjoy the first few of these books. First I must say that the reader is excellent and the first few stories were light hearted and witty detective stories with an "I help dead people" twist - a lot of fun.

However this one I just could not finish. I think the author is now trying too hard to compete with 50 shades of grey. I quite enjoy a bit of sex in my books but the plot just too frequently comes to a dead halt while she describes their sexual encounters in great detail. Probably OK if I'm listening alone in a dark room but not on a treadmill at the Gym!

Very disappointing and just silly

Revisado: 06-10-14

I began listening to this book with expectations that it would be interesting and imaginative. I persevered because of sheer determination.
The concept was interesting - time travellers returning to the time of Jesus but it devolved to pure silliness. The central characters were far from convincing - a renowned Jewish scientist totally ignorant of who jesus was? When it descended into battles with demons I lost interest totally.

Very entertaining mystery and adventure

Revisado: 10-17-13

This is a mystery and an adventure which Arthur Conan Doyle would love to have written.
A mystery lasting a century and two parallel adventures a century apart could be confusing but Moore has written them well so that there is no confusion.
A book definitely written in the Sherlock Holmes genre but more about Doyle than Holmes, it will be very entertaining to anyone who has ever been a fan of the great detective

Enthralling, funny, compassionate and wonderful

Revisado: 08-06-13

I have now listened to this book a second time, simply to enjoy it once more and i did enjoy it just as much as the first.

The story is engrossing. A very different variation on the time travel genre, I love the way it interweaves the 14th and 21st centuries.

I found myself totally enthralled by the story, really caring about the characters, crying and laughing. What more can one ask from a book?

Starting to wear thin but still a good listen.

Revisado: 12-28-12

This is my third "Odd Thomas" book and I found that the the device of using his unusual abilities to solve mysteries is beginning to wear thin and become predictable. I don't think I'll bother with another but nonetheless this was an enjoyable listening experience with a surprise ending.

The first book in the series was definitely the most interesting.
